St. Saviour H.S. Marks
90th Anniversary
St. Saviour High School culminated the 90th anniversary celebration of its establishment by the School Sisters of Notre Dame on Oct. 20. A special luncheon held at the Brooklyn Marriott Hotel drew over 525 alumnae and faculty from as far as Germany and all over the country including Texas, California, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Arizona, and throughout Brooklyn.
Father Daniel Murphy, pastor, gave the invocation. Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz presented to Sister Valeria Belanger, SSND, principal, a document proclaiming October 20, 2007 as: “St. Saviour High School 90th Anniversary Celebration Day in Brooklyn, N.Y., U.S.A.”
The Commemorative Plaque drew the attention of, from left, Board of Trustees member Msgr. Nicholas Sivillo and Bernard Helldorfer ’73, Alumni Office’s Miriam Mucchi ’72, Sister Laura Algieri ’66 and Brother Mike Sheerin ’69.
In recent years, graduates have been accepted into many fine institutions including Barnard, Boston College, Boston University, Brown, Cal Tech, Columbia, CUNY Honors Colleges, Fairfield, Fordham, New York University, Penn State, SUNY, Syracuse, Villanova, and Wesleyan, Conn.
Forty-Five Years of Wisdom and Marist Spirit at C.K.R.H.S.
The Commemorative Plaque drew the attention of, from left, Board of Trustees member Msgr. Nicholas Sivillo and Bernard Helldorfer ’73, Alumni Office’s Miriam Mucchi ’72, Sister Laura Algieri ’66 and Brother Mike Sheerin ’69.
Some 45 years ago, a group of dedicated religious men and women came together in a new venture that became known as Christ the King Regional High School. The Marist Brothers and the Daughters of Wisdom laid the foundation for the Catholic education that continues today.
On the Feast of Christ the King, Nov. 25, a group of current and former Daughters of Wisdom and Marist Brothers returned to the school for a 45th anniversary celebration of the high school’s founding. To commemorate this milestone, a plaque was commissioned. The plaque included original drawings by artist Rocco Mirro of a Daughter of Wisdom and a Marist Brother wearing their original habits together with a listing of the names of all the Daughters of Wisdom and Marist Brothers who served at Christ the King.

My message is to people who are in hospitals and in prisons. If I could, I would tell them to have faith and hope that their lives will get better.
