SCIENCE, MATH & LIBRARY CENTER A Lasting Legacy Three families honored with rooms in new building Since the School’s new Science, Math & Library Center opened in May 2012, three naming ceremonies have been held for various rooms in the facility. The McKinlay Room, Lynch Hall, and the Gately Reading Room will forever stand as fitting tributes to families whose generosity have made a lasting impact on St. Sebastian’s School.

McKinlay Room The McKinlay and Connolly Families and their friends gathered to dedicate the new McKinlay Room in honor of Barb and Jim McKinlay, the grandparents of Will ’10, Jack ’12, Mike ’17, and Molly Connolly on June 19. This room is located on the second floor of the Science, Math & Library Center and features a large conference table, stateof-the-art audio/visual presentation capabilities, and books and reference materials promoting ethics, morality, and the pursuit of truth through faith and reason. “Barb and Jim McKinlay exemplify the spirit of St. Sebastian’s at our very best,” stated Headmaster Bill Burke. “Their powerful and heroic love of God, family, friends, and country – so beautifully evident in their children, in-laws, and grandchildren – stirs us all to become ever more fully the wise, just, balanced, and brave people of faith, honor, and integrity that our Lord wants us to be. How fitting, right, and just it is that this magnificent room of gravitas bears their names.” Lynch Hall On September 30, the Lynch and O’Hurley families came together to honor Christine Lynch P’83, GP’04,’05,’06,’08,’10,’15 with the dedication of Lynch Hall. Located at the far end of the Science, Math & Library Center, this octagonal space serves as the perfect gathering and academic space for students, parents, and alumni. “Love God. Work hard. Take good care of one another. The order of the day at St. Sebastian’s is the order of the beautiful life of Christine Lynch,” noted Headmaster Bill Burke. “How fitting it is that her family has dedicated this gorgeous new teaching and learning space in her honor and in her name. The crosses that boldly separate the windows, the light that enters from above and is emitted nightly from within recall the warm and loving heart of Christine ever open to the grace of God, ever pulsing light and 18 | ST.

May God bless Christine and her beautiful family forever!” Gately Reading Room The Gately Reading Room was officially dedicated in honor of Jack and Eleanore O’Neill Gately, the parents of former Board President David Gately ’73, during a ceremony on October 28. This quiet study space is located off the main library and provides a place where students and faculty can read, write, and reflect. “Long had we held the vision and the hope for a quiet room in our library, a commodious, comfortable, sacrosanct place where students and faculty could retreat into solitary, silent study, where no group work would be permitted, a glassed in place for noiseless, unobtrusive supervision, with doors designed to open and close almost inaudibly, and here we are met in the Gately Family Reading Room, which is being used exactly as intended – much to the sheer delight and great appreciation of our 375 students and 60 teachers and the many who will follow,” commented Headmaster Bill Burke. • Above: Gately Reading Room Dedication (l-r) Elizabeth, Mark, Andrew, Meg, Peter, and David ’73 Gately.
