Liz Canty ’26, Cameron Picarello ’26, Connor Picarello ’26, Kirstine Perez ’26, Matt Binay ’26, Emmerson Villaman ’26, Chelsea Joseph ’27, and Kaya Bednarczuk ’28 traveled to Indianapolis, Indiana, with Dr. Prince, Ms. Kussman, and Mr. Costa to participate in the National Catholic Youth Conference. The three-day gathering brought together more than 18,000 young Catholics from across the country for inspiring talks, workshops, liturgies, and shared prayer. In a vibrant atmosphere of faith, students connected with peers from across the nation, exchanging symbols of faith and engaging in meaningful conversations. A highlight of the conference included a livestreamed Q&A with Pope Leo, followed by a powerful closing message reminding participants that faith lived in community is truly “real life.”

Students also participated in an Ecology Mission Trip to Belize. Vanessa Guilfoyle ’26, Alex Gonzalez ’26, Oona Woods ’27, Lucas Lui ’27, Hannah Abenante ’27, Lilly Kacziba ’27, Emily Mussalli ’28, and Ovi Oke ’28 traveled for a week of service and learning focused on climate change and global sustainability. They were accompanied by Dr. Alice Prince, Ms. Jennifer Federico, and Mr. Richard Costa and Sam King, the Province's Marist Director of Integral Ecology and Sustainability.

During the experience, students partnered with local Belizean youth in beach cleanups, visited an inland school serving Mayan children where they taught lessons, played games, and assisted with preparations for a school celebration, and toured a cacao plantation to learn about sustainable agriculture and daily life in Belize. Through these encounters, students reflected on faith, gratitude, and the relationship between care for creation and the dignity of all people.

During their winter break, nine juniors and seniors from Archbishop Molloy High School traveled on a service trip to the Give Kids The World Village in Kissimmee, Florida, an all-inclusive resort that welcomes Make-A-Wish families whose children are facing serious or life-threatening illnesses. Molloy students assisted with meals, welcomed families, and even helped operate the wheelchair-accessible carousel. The experience also included time for community building, with mini golf and a visit to the Magic Kingdom.
