class of 2015 “In the future we will encounter many new and exciting changes— opportunities in which we can influence each other in ways similar to how we have been influenced. And in looking forward to the many possibilities we will all have, I repeat what Mr. Morelli says often, that you are to be who you are and be that well. This classic line which we know all too well comes from one of Saint Francis de Sales’ letter to Saint Jane de Chantal, in which he also said, “Let us be what we are and be that well so that we can bring honor to the Master Craftsman whose handiwork we are.” He goes onto say that even if we were to become the most perfect creatures under heaven, what good would that do us if we were not as God’s will would have us be. So Class of 2015, as you go on to become the next great faces of the world, let us never forget to go to Mass, to pray the rosary, and to love God with all that you are so that you can become the person whom God created you to be.” Peter Rainwater Valedictorian, Class of 2015 “There’s really something about this class of 2015. Throughout my four years I have always had this thought lingering in my mind. That the people who I was surrounded by, had a certain kind of spark. Like many teachers and parents may have realized, we have never taken no for an answer. We’ve been able to keep high grades and test scores, while still staying connected with our fellow friends and families. We’ve been successful on the courts, fields, and tracks, while still being successful in the classrooms. We have not been afraid to question the world around us, to question past beliefs and methods, and to sometimes question authority; because, by nature, this class of 2015 does not settle. We go out there and achieve what we believe must be achieved. And because of this, I see us all truly becoming a guiding force in the years to come.” Nicholas Magnasco Salutatorian, Class of 2015 100% of our seniors graduated.

The Catholic University of America WISCONSIN University of Wisconsin, Madison PHILLIPINES Ateneo de Davao University (Philippines) Excerpt from Fr. Fallon’s letter to St. Mary’s community: Let me let you in on the story of a startup which did not begin in Silicon Valley but found its roots in the Central Valley… At its beginning, St. Mary’s High School was very much like the modern-day start up. It had few resources but had the faith to follow through with a dream. That dream of providing Catholic secondary education to the young people of the San Joaquin began to take shape when the Irish Catholic wife of the founder of the city of Stockton, Captain Weber, persuaded her husband to donate a tract of land on which St. Mary’s would eventually stand. Another dream shaper was Archbishop Sadoc Alameny, the first archbishop of San Francisco who persuaded the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael to leave their convent in the temperate climate of Benicia to make what he called a “little sacrifice” to come to Stockton with its often unbearable heat, to raise funds for the building of the school. The sisters did their fundraising by horse and buggy. The first teachers were the Dominican Sisters who have maintained a constant presence even to today. Over these many years, the Dominicans were joined by the Franciscans, Diocesan Priests, Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary and since 1970, the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales. The coming of the Oblates introduced the school to the spirituality of St. Francis de Sales, one of our current patrons. The Spirituality of St. Francis de Sales has been wholeheartedly embraced by the school community and it is one of our hallmarks. Our milestones over these 140 years are made up of the memories of people who have been part of us… 4
