Class of ’12 Serves the<br />
Students of San Miguel<br />
On Wednesday, September 8, ten<br />
members from the Class of 2012<br />
traveled with Assistant Headmaster Mike<br />
Nerbonne to the San Miguel School in<br />
Providence to deliver backpacks and<br />
supplies to the students. The trip was a<br />
wonderful experience for the students from<br />
both schools. In addition to the distribution<br />
of the backpacks, the group had the<br />
opportunity to sit and talk before the San<br />
Miguel students headed back to class and the<br />
St. Sebastian’s group returned to Needham.<br />
Now in its fourth year, the trip is the final<br />
part of a service project that begins each<br />
summer when the families of the Class of<br />
2012 are contacted and invited to participate.<br />
Some families donate supplies and cash,<br />
others participate in the assembly and<br />
delivery of the backpacks.<br />
Thanks to their support, the students of<br />
San Miguel have the materials they need for a<br />
successful school year.<br />
Alumni Crew Volunteers<br />
at “The Abbey”<br />
During the month of September several<br />
alumni formed crews and worked at<br />
“The Abbey” in Marshfield, helping<br />
Monsignor Contons button up his home for<br />
the coming winter.<br />
“The Abbey” was originally purchased in<br />
1952 by six priests, several of whom taught at<br />
various times at St. Sebastian’s (Fathers<br />
Barrett, Contons, Gilmartin, and Mahoney).<br />
Alumni from the 1950s through the 1970s<br />
have fond memories of these great men and<br />
have been more than eager to help the last<br />
surviving owner, Contons, with some<br />
maintenance jobs around the property.<br />
Fall Service Project<br />
Close to 50 fathers and their sons<br />
participated in the Men’s Association<br />
Fall Service Project on Saturday, November<br />
20, 2010. The volunteers gathered at St.<br />
Sebastian’s in the morning and were split<br />
into groups. With the help of the Natick<br />
Council on Aging, groups were dispersed to<br />
elderly residents’ homes to rake leaves and<br />
prepare the yards for the upcoming winter.<br />
