FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Mercy Community:
When Sister Frances Xavier Warde traveled with a small group of Sisters from
Ireland to Pittsburgh in 1843 to establish the first Mercy community she came
to a country that was working its way to the west (the first wagon train set
out from Missouri over the Oregon Trail in May of that year) and beginning
to develop major cities and towns away from the Atlantic. In 1854 Sister
Mary Baptist Russell along with seven other Sisters of Mercy arrived in San
Francisco; a rough and tough town in the throes of a major cholera outbreak.
The Sisters encountered strong anti-Catholic sentiment, death threats and
uncertain living conditions. But these women were resilient, strong in faith, determined and bold.
The Sisters of Mercy would move throughout the U.S. to start health care systems, housing projects,
colleges, universities, elementary and high schools and to lead on the important issues of the day from
poverty to immigration to equality for women. Those of us who serve as lay leaders in Mercy schools
are very aware that we follow in awesome footsteps.
As you see from this issue of The Oaks, Mercy Burlingame has new leadership. Ivan Hrga and I join a
leadership team that brings enormous talent to the school. We have different gifts, years of experience,
perspectives from previous schools and careers, varied backgrounds. Together we relish the opportunity
to make Mercy High School the “go-to” high school on the Peninsula. Check the web site, blogs and
other Mercy publications for news about programs and new initiatives in academics, the arts, athletics
and service opportunities.
We have done something a little different in this issue of The Oaks by including our Annual Report.
Previously the Annual Report has been sent out as a separate publication. The Sisters of Mercy in
Burlingame and all of us at the high school have been making a concerted effort to “go green.” There
are campus-wide recycling and composting efforts, the school’s iPad program has reduced the use
of paper and energy costs and we are always on the lookout for additional environmentally sound
endeavors.
The Annual Report celebrates all those who have made it possible for Mercy Burlingame to live up to
Catherine McAuley’s dictum that “No work of charity can be more productive of good to society than
the careful instruction of women.” No words can truly express how much we appreciate the generosity
of our parents, alumnae, alumnae parents, friends, foundations and other donors that make it possible
to instruct the wonderful young women who grace our presence each day.
Enjoy the stories in this issue that celebrate what Mercy High School is all about. Check out our web
site to keep up-to-date with the latest happenings. Visit us – we always take pleasure in having the
opportunity to meet you and show you around the school!

Over 100 Years of
Educating Young Women
A heartfelt thank you to four teachers who have changed the lives of so many Mercy students!
It is with a heavy heart that we said goodbye to Cynthia Yabes, Joan Nocetti, Jeanne Biernat
(pictured above l to r) and Joyce Nocetti (at right). The words of Catherine McAuley “Show
your instructions in actions as much as you can” truly represent the way these four women lived
their lives as teachers. Each of these amazing teachers was dedicated to academic excellence,
committed to the true spirit of Mercy and always went the extra mile for their students. We will
miss their warm smiles, sense of humor and genuine love for the Mercy community.
Sr. Katherine Doyle receives Catherine McAuley Award
Each year, Mercy High School presents the Catherine McAuley Award to a
person or group who represents a commitment to Catherine McAuley’s vision
and the education of young women. This year at the Making A Difference
Scholarship Benefit, Bob Grassilli, Chairman of the Board of Directors for Mercy
High School Burlingame was proud to present this award to Sr. M. Katherine
Doyle, RSM. Bob spoke to the group about Sister’s many accomplishments
this year and stated, “We are most grateful to Sister Katherine for being our
Interim President this year. Sr. Katherine joined our community during a time
of transition and has led the search for our new President, Karen Hanrahan,
reconstituted the Board of Directors, and is leading the search for our new
Principal. She has done an outstanding job leading the Mercy community this
year bringing forth a renewed sense of mission and commitment to all that it
means to be a Mercy school. On behalf of the Mercy HS Board of Directors,
faculty and staff, it is my honor to present Sister with this award.”

New YMI Scholarship
The Young Men’s Institute awarded $75,000 to the Tri-School community of Serra, Mercy, and
Notre Dame, Belmont in May 2013. Each school received a check for $25,000 to be used for an
annual YMI scholarship of $2,500 per year (for 10 years) to a junior student for his or her senior
year tuition. Each school has agreed on criteria for scholarship recipients. In addition, they must be
residents of San Mateo County and practicing Catholics.
The Mercy High School YMI Scholarship of $2,500 will be awarded annually to a Mercy junior who
is a practicing Catholic, is in good standing with the school, represents the values of YMI and who
has exhibited a consistent commitment to community service and Christian leadership. Receiving
the scholarship for Mercy High School is Student Body President, Camilla Ron ’14 pictured at right.

Vietnam a life changing experience
“The real
heart of
the trip was
developing
solidarity
with the
people
we met.”
Ten students from Mercy traveled to Phat Diem, Vietnam, for a Faith Immersion over Easter
Break 2013. They were accompanied by French Teacher, Liz Barthe, and Service-Learning
Coordinator, Jessica Mueller. The group stayed on the campus of the Phat Diem Cathedral
and collaborated closely with the diocesan priests, sisters, and pre-seminarians who live,
work, pray, and study on the Cathedral compound.
The Faith Immersion program at Mercy is founded on the pillars of community, spirituality,
solidarity, and justice. While part of the trip included service (in this case teaching
English to children, sisters, and pre-seminarians), the real heart of the trip was developing
solidarity with the people we met—growing in relationship as brothers and sisters in
one human family, and taking on one another’s joys and concerns as our own. This
movement towards solidarity was initiated by the incredible hospitality of our hosts, and
the unconditional invitation to be a part of their lives: “You are our sisters—you are always
welcome in this place, and we hope you will return!” We ate every meal with the Catholic
community, washed dishes together, worshiped together at the Easter Triduum services,
traveled together to visit Catholic shrines, played soccer, sang songs, and learned from one
another’s culture and language.
We learned about some of the challenges of being Catholic in a communist country, and
grew in deep appreciation for the integrity and persistence with which our hosts live out
their faith and strive to make a difference in their communities by caring for those who
are left behind. The timing of our trip to Vietnam was appropriate, as our Faith Immersion
brought us deep into the Joy of Easter. — Jessica Mueller, former faculty

WorldStrides Heritage Music Festival Silver Award
For the first time, Mercy High School Burlingame, Music Director Pam Matthews and the Honors and Advanced
Chorale, competed in the WorldStrides Heritage Music Festival held each year in San Diego. Mercy girls performed
well and at the end of the competition came away with a Silver Award. This was quite an accomplishment, as this was
the first time that the group had participated in this music festival. Special thanks to all who helped with fundraising
for the trip. Your generosity allowed the girls to experience this wonderful opportunity! Congratulations again
to Ms. Matthews and all the girls for a job well done!
Giving Back
In August Mercy High School Students collected school
supplies for the less fortunate. The girls brought in basic
school supplies giving low income children the chance to start
school with some brand new supplies! Campus Minister Angie
Simonetti and Sandy Flaherty, Director of Mission Integration
delivered the supplies to Sr. Patsy Harney, RSM who works with
Mercy Housing in San Francisco. The girls did a great job of
bringing in supplies – and it was greatly appreciated!

Grace Osborne Wins
Grand Prize
Grace Osborne, Class of 2013, won the Serra
International Club Essay Grand Prize! This essay contest
sponsored by the Serra Club of San Mateo together
with its parent organization Serra International, is held
annually in an effort to raise the awareness of boys
and girls to possible vocations for themselves. This
contest is open to seventh through twelfth grade
students in Catholic schools and CCD programs in the
mid-peninsula area. This year’s essay subject was to
describe in 500 words or less “What is my commitment
to my faith?” Grace focused her essay on why
commitment is key to any relationship, especially one
with God. She described how she was able to overcome
personal events in her life with the help of her faith,
and how it motivates her to stay committed to it. At
the luncheon held at St. Gregory’s this past April, each
participant read their essay. They were judged, and
Grace was awarded the $500 College Scholarship as
this year’s Grand Prize winner! Grace is pictured above
with her father, mother and religion teacher Peter Diaz.
“The Network of God”
Three Mercy sophomores, Yena Kim, Jenna McCormick
and Amangeet Samra recently won the National Catholic
Campaign for Human
Development prize with
their project, "The Network
of God." Their attention to
detail and ability to make a
deep connection with the
material really paid off...way to
go” stated Ms. Jessica Mueller,
former Campus Ministry and
Service Learning Coordinator. The judges were very impressed
with both the creativity and the thoughtfulness of the artwork
and stated that it conveyed a very powerful message about
poverty in the United States, its causes and how people of
faith can walk with “two feet” to address it. The prizes are
divided into a $500 prize for the group, a $500 gift for Mercy
and a $500 gift in your groups name to a CCHD funded
organization in your area. The girls will be presented with
their prize at next year’s national Catholic Youth Conference
in Indianapolis in November. Way to go Mercy!

Mercy National Art Honor Society
students were invited to a private tour at the Cantor Art Center at Stanford. The
students enjoyed drawing, sketching, and studying Contemporary paintings and
sculpture. A walk through the Cantor Art Center is a journey representing antiquity
to modern day. The collection covers the spectrum from Oceania and Asia -textiles, sculptures, ceramics -- to a large Rodin collection (indoors and out) -- to
installations by Alexander Calder and Andy Warhol in the contemporary galleries.

Drowsy Chaperone Tri-School Productions students
enchanted their audience with a captivating performance!
Excerpted from Serra High School Spring 2013 “Traditions”
Tri-School Productions students from Mercy, Notre Dame and Serra brought the Roaring Twenties to life with a fast-paced
quick-witted rendition of The Drowsy Chaperone in March. “Our Tri-School production featured typical characters of
the Vaudeville era,” noted Tri-School Musical Director Gennine Harrington. “The choreography reflected the period with
authentic styles of the Charleston and tapping. The costumes illustrate a very glamorous era.”
2013-14
Glamorous indeed, Amanda Odasz ’13 (Mercy), Christina Won Pat (NDB) and Katherine O’Toole ‘13 (Mercy) dazzled the
crowd with old-Hollywood starlet charm. Casonova Aaron Gabriel (Serra) added comic relief as Adolpho, an over-thetop ladies’ man. Mercy freshman Cat Bigelow, who loved the 1920s-style choreography, said cast members of the upbeat
show enjoyed the camaraderie. “Becoming involved in Tri-School Productions is a great way to meet new people,” she
added “We all share a common interest and it’s a great way to bond with your friends.”

ASL Service Learning
Helping a Child to Read
In keeping with the Mercy mission, American
Sign Language (ASL) instructor, Alison Bell
wanted our girls to be involved in a service
learning project. The girls have created sign
books for the 3 year old programs at the
Honolulu School for the Deaf and Blind and
St. Mary's School for the Deaf in Buffalo, NY.
Unfortunately, about 45% of children who
are deaf, never reach above a fourth grade
reading level; and there are not many books
out there that provide basic signing stories
for kids.
The ASL 3 classes have created ABC books from scratch. These books include kid friendly words and pictures along
with the girls' pictures of the correct sign to use. Our ASL 4 class created their own story books. The girls were given
free range of creativity to write any story that they wanted and they were amazing; one group did an wonderful story
about a Pirate and another wrote about a fat panda that eats every day of the week! These gifts will be a wonderful
addition to any child’s library of books and the girls were extremely excited to be able to help another child to learn to
read! Girls were happy to pose with the finished books above.
Finding Nemo
In May, the ASL 4 class performed “Finding Nemo” for the
St. Gregory’s K-6 classes. It was a wonderful performance
led by Alison Bell, American Sign Language teacher. The
St. Greg’s kids loved learning sign at the beginning of the
performance and laughed and asked questions at the end.
The Mercy girls wowed the audience! Teachers were in awe
of how poised our girls were. What a great way to promote
Mercy and the wonderful education the girls receive here!

Annual Report
Honor Roll of Donors
Partners in Mission
Mercy’s Annual Giving Program provides the opportunity for our entire Mercy Community to partner with us as we
advance the mission of Mercy High School. Our Annual Giving program provides sustainable revenue & long-term
support for our programs and has an immediate impact on the young women at Mercy. The Annual Giving revenues
are used to enhance student curricular and co—curricular programs as well as provide support for specific programs
as designated by donors such as tuition assistance, academic departments, athletics, Mercy Mass, endowment, named
scholarships, sponsorship support to various events and other special projects. Gifts include not only donations but
stock transfers, planned gifts and bequests.
Mercy’s Annual Giving Program ensures we are continuing a legacy of high achievement both in and out of the
classroom & a strong financial foundation not only for today but for the future. Each of these donors is truly a
“partner in mission” with Mercy High School. Thank you for your generosity.

Making a Difference
Mercy’s Making A Difference Scholarship Benefit was a huge success
raising $200,000 for our financial aid program! Since its inception,
Making A Difference has raised $975,000; we have come a long way
from our first year in which we raised $24,000!
Event Chair Clare Purpura did a fantastic job along with the support of
our Honorary Committee and Steering Committee. Keynote speaker
Lorraine Paul was inspirational and student speaker Jasmine Mallory ’13
brought home to everyone how Making A Difference transforms lives!
We couldn’t have hoped for a more successful evening that not only
raised funds for tuition assistance but celebrated all that it means to
be Mercy!
This annual benefit is Mercy’s premier fundraising event—with proceeds
providing significant tuition assistance for students to help them attain
their fullest potential through a Mercy education. Many recipients are
students who might not otherwise be able to attend Mercy without
this support. More students than ever now need financial assistance
to attend Mercy, and in recent years, low and middle income families
have been particularly hard-hit by increased costs and a challenging
economy. A special thank you to all those who were our sponsors
or made a gift to Making A Difference - your generosity is deeply
appreciated! We hope to raise even more next year.

1952
Mary Lou Bisagno Flocchini writes,
“Well...here goes...I now live in Reno NV.
For the past 12 years with my husband
of 59 years. We moved our family meat
business here at that time from San Jose
California. Three of our five sons work in
the business including our Buffalo Ranch
in WY, for the past 30 years. We have
7 grown children and 19 grandchildren,
pretty much spread out all over the
county and one in Italy. Bud, my husband
and I are involved in our parish here in
Reno, St. Rose of Lima. I am the Sacristan
and keep pretty busy. We keep busy
with family and the church. We love it
here in Nevada. Never thought I would
leave California, but never say never. My
experience at Mercy was such a blessing
and privilege. I think of those years often
with much gratitude. If anyone is ever in
Reno, give me a call.”
1959
Kay Conklin Regan-DeCicco writes “My
news involves what I have been doing
since retirement. I am Chairman of the
Board of Directors of Literacy Volunteers
of Ocean County, New Jersey. For the
past several years many non-profits
in New Jersey have suffered financial
setbacks, as I’m sure is true of the rest
of the country. Many funding sources
cut back and many dried up completely
during the financial downturn. Ours
was no exception. We had to “think
outside the box” in order to survive as
an organization and continue to serve
the many functionally illiterate people
who depend on us. We decided to join
36 • The Oaks
together with six other Literacy Volunteer
groups in the state to create one
organization which will be more efficient
and (hopefully) much more effective for
our clientele. Building a new legal and
organizational structure, satisfying the
differing needs of existing organizations,
cajoling reluctant participants, finding
increased funding and assuring we meet
the needs of all our clients and volunteer
tutors is the most exciting job I never got
paid to do in my life!”
Eugenia Dubiosi Hovland and Lynette
Hovland ‘81 are pleased and proud that
there will be another Mercy (Burlingame)
girl in the family when Eugenia’s grand
daughter and Lynette’s niece, Michela
Hovland begins Mercy as a freshman
this fall. Michela’s older sister Jacqueline
graduated from Mercy, SF in 2008 and
despite living in San Francisco, Michela’s
first high school choice was Mercy,
Burlingame!
1960
Margaret Mackesy Booker, writes,
“Congratulations on Mercy’s new
President! On another front, I (plus my
two sisters Joan and Maura) are Mercy
alumnae. I graduated from Stanford with
both a BA and PhD and now sit on the
Board of Directors for the 1990 Institute
which promotes understanding between
the peoples of the U.S. and China through
cross-cultural education. We are offered a
Teacher Workshop on CHINA’S GROWING
GLOBAL IMPACT this past summer to
high school teachers in the Bay Area...
Teachers received a stipend, breakfast and
lunch, plus curriculum materials. Both
Stanford and Cal are participated. The
workshop is especially appropriate for
history and social science teachers.”
Maria Iskiw writes, “My retirement
consists of two volunteer jobs. First,
I manage the financial affairs of my
church. Secondly, I am helping an 80+
year old lady study to pass the GED
tests so she can receive a high school
diploma. It’s never too late. She is an
inspiration to me.”

who want to learn English. Arabic has
been the language of education, but
with Independence, South Sudan wants
all education to be in English. On 20th
February we celebrated the Official
Blessing and First Graduation of eight
In-Service student-teachers. We began
with prayers and the singing of the
prayerful National Anthem, followed
by the Blessing of the College... The
speeches were uplifting...we enjoyed
a poem, “Beautiful Sudan” by Henry, a
Third Year student-teacher. Songs were
sung and we enjoyed watching three
cultural dances: Dinka, Nuer, and Shilluk...
We thank God for such a memorable
day.” Carolyn also wrote in again in June,
“...In two weeks we will begin our Second
Teaching Practice. Our students are
looking forward to the challenge. Thank
you for keeping us in your prayers. We
continue to pray for justice and peace for
all in this new country.” Carolyn teaches
at the Solidarity Teacher Training College,
Malakal, South Sudan.
Jackie Ralston Polati writes, “My
wonderful journey, I graduated in 1961.
My memories of Mercy High school
are wonderful! I’ve been married to my
hubby EJ Polati for over 50 years. We
raised 5 children who have blessed us
with 10 grandchildren and a little 2 year
old great grandson!”

Maureen Murphy Jenkins writes, “No
personal news.....my youngest daughter
just earned her Masters Degree in
International Relations with an emphasis
on Development and is putting her skills
to use in Kabul, Afghanistan with Aga
Khan.”
1963
Maureen Marconi writes, “My husband,
Alan, and I enjoyed a fun week in Cabo
San Lucas at the tip of Baja at the end
of April. We are off to Europe for most
of the summer but will be back in plenty
of time to attend my 50th high school
reunion at Mercy.”

Cathy Scalmanini Marvier writes,
“This Fourth of July will be the 1 year
anniversary of my retirement and am
I ever having fun! I volunteer several
places, take mahjong lessons, swim a mile
almost daily, and have become a “lady
who lunches”. (It took about 1 week to
say “How did I ever find the time to go
to work.”) In September, I take my annual
train trip to visit my grandbabies at Ft.
Benning. This year, I break my journey for
2 nights to visit Gail Fiske Shugart ‘64 in
Alpine, Texas. We last saw each other on
graduation day. We should have plenty to
talk about!”
1966
Janet Lee Stewart writes, “Good morning,
Thought I’d catch you up on my life here in
the Mother-lode. Enjoy being a Rekie Master
and have wonderful individuals and groups
up here to work with. When I’m not having
fun with my grandchildren, my dog Mikie,
gardening and friends..I’m involved with
Red Cross/CERT and DAT. On call for any
and all emergencies. Hope my old
classmates are doing well and would like
to invite them up here for a visit.”

Jenny (Genevieve Murphy) Moore writes,
“After 20+ years at big law firms, I just
moved my estate planning practice to
Bancroft & McAlister, a small firm with
offices in Marin and San Francisco. It’s
been great for my husband and me to
make this change now, as our younger
son heads off for college – nothing like a
new business to offset that empty nest
feeling! The icing on the cake is that one
of my law partners is also a good friend
from law school days. When we run out
of work to talk about, we trade stories of
our four kids, all of whom will be college

para educator, specializing on one on one
aid for special needs children, I love it. I
have a Europe trip planned this summer
with my friends and I am really excited
about it, I’ll be going to London Paris and
Barcelona. Other than that I am excited
about my future and the next chapter
that is to come.”

Elizabeth Waddell (PHOTO) writes,
“On Saturday, May 11, 2013, I and two
other fellow Mercy alums graduated
from Sonoma State University. I’ve
attached a photo with the graduates
along with friends who also graduated
the same year from Mercy Burlingame.”

Catherine’s Legacy
Leave a legacy, remember Mercy in your will!
A planned give may be the largest gift you ever make...
Why do you need a will?
Because it allows you to:
•
•
•
•
Direct the division of your property the way you choose—not the way the state decides.
Name a guardian for your minor children.
Select an executor (personal representative) who is well-qualified to settle your estate promptly and economically, with careful attention to your wishes.
Devise an estate plan, with the help of a qualified attorney and other advisors, to minimize the taxes on your estate.
Remember Mercy in your Will:
Once you have taken care of your family members, Just a few sentences in your
will are all that is needed. The official bequest language for Mercy High School,
Burlingame is: "I, [name], of [city, state, ZIP], give, devise and bequeath to Mercy
High School, Burlingame [written amount or percentage of the estate or
description of property] for its unrestricted use and purpose."
For information on creating your first will or more information regarding estate
planning, contact Mary Lund at 650-762-1190 or www.mercyhsb.com –
click Giving to Mercy – click Planned Giving. Notify Mary Lund if you

Mercy Parents’ Club
It is an important goal of the MPC to honor the Mercy tradition of Hospitality,
and in this vein several traditional events are offered at no cost to Mercy
parents so that all families are able to attend. Last school year, MPC
raised over $150,000, and was able to host a combined total of over 1300
Mercy parents, students, faculty and staff at the following no-cost events:
Welcome BBQ, Mother Daughter Tea, Father Daughter Dance, Faculty Staff
Appreciation Luncheon and Senior Mother Daughter Brunch. After deducting
the expenses for these Hospitality events, along with the costs associated with
our three fundraisers (Wine Tasting, Casino del Kohl and “Come Sail Away”
Auction), MPC gave a net cash gift of $34,650 back to Mercy!
