ONE MOORE…MADE OF MANY
Undoubtedly, Bishop Moore Catholic is a wonderful community
and we have much to celebrate. Our community is indeed made
up of many wonderful parts. These parts form the structure and
identity of a sizeable campus on which the needs of the whole are
served. As within most entities, there are those whose role is to
not only make the entity function but also give care as custodians
of our inherited legacy.
For 17 years, Mr. Wilfredo Rey (“Mr. Fred”) served as the head of maintenance of Bishop
Moore Catholic until his retirement last semester. Mr. Rey epitomized the very spirited hallmark
of dedication of our staff. Mr. Rey put in countless hours making sure everything ran as efficiently
as possible.
Although Mr. Rey is not physically on our campus anymore, he has left his caretaker’s mark on
the breadth of this campus and his affection for Bishop Moore Catholic in the hearts of us who
had the opportunity to work with him.
As a token of our appreciation for Mr. Rey and to ensure his name will forever be a part of the
campus, we have named the back road leading to the maintenance shed on which he traveled
to begin and end each day in his honor…FRED REY WAY.
I thank God for Mr. Rey’s dedication to Bishop Moore
Catholic as well as the committed witness of all the
members of our staff who selflessly serve the needs
of ONE MOORE.

On November 14, 2015, over 750 members of the Bishop Moore Catholic community gathered together to honor the commitment of Cesar Calvet ‘64, Norma Coto, and Msgr. William Ennis to Catholic education in Central Florida. The Legacy Gala, sponsored by the Whitney Lee DeCarlo Foundation, was a wonderful night!
In his acceptance speech, Cesar Calvet painted a poignant picture of the warm home he found at Bishop Moore Catholic
as a Cuban refugee. With the Hornet com-munity, Cesar found a safe place which helped him to grow, serve, and become a leader in Central Florida. It is from these seeds of faith that he has continued to give back.
Former faculty member, Norma Coto is still beloved by her students today. This was evident in the many alumni who came to the Legacy Gala to cheer on their former Spanish teacher. With tears in her eyes, Norma re-flected on her years in the classroom, thanking God for the opportunity to help mold his children. She later reflected that how she felt at the Gala is how she thinks her heart will feel in heaven. So much love!
Msgr. William Ennis began the night reflecting on his role as a priest in the Diocese of Orlando, spending many years at
parishes with schools full of rosy-cheeked children. As a servant to our community, he has made a commitment that any of these children will be able to receive a Catholic education, no matter of their financial capacity. To that end, he has given financial support to countless children who have graduated from BMC, thanks in part to his generosity.
In addition to these touching speeches from each honoree, the evening included a lively silent and live auction, student performances, dinner, and dancing. The generosity of our community exceeded our expectations as we netted over $160,000 to transform the Demetree Media Center into a vibrant, cutting edge student center with a cafe. Funds generated will also subsidize our ever growing Campus Ministry program. We are sincerely grateful to each of our sponsors, especially the Whitney Lee DeCarlo Foundation, for their financial support.
The planning of the Gala took place for a year, led by our fabulous Chairs:Lynn Conte, Jennifer Etscorn, and Donna Fritz. They were supported by many committee members who inspired great ideas and shared their many gifts. Without them none of this would have been possible.
We would also like to thank our emcees for the evening, alumni Niki Little ‘14, and current Junior, Garrett E. Seeing our students on stage reminds us all of the true benefactors of the generosity, our students.

We have a new addition to our campus, on the Pines side of our Chapel. This marble replica of Michelangelo's Pieta was donated by the King family in memory of their child, Dominic Andrew King, who died at 3 months old. Two of the King's children currently attend Bishop Moore Catholic: Catherine ‘17 and Benjamin ‘19. The Kings realized that they will have children attending Bishop Moore Catholic for the next 18 years and wanted to give them a place to remember their brother.
Father Ralph DuWell, pastor of Bishop Moore Catholic, blessed the statue with the King family and students from a senior religion class. After a beautiful prayer in remembrance of Dominic Andrew, members of the King family were invited to sprinkle holy water on the statue.
In addition to being special to the King family, the statue is a sacred reminder for our entire Hornet community. "Pieta" is an Italian word meaning pity, compassion, and sorrow. Michelangelo’s Virgin is a young woman of heroic stature holding the lifeless body
of her grown son, Jesus, after he has been taken down from the cross. Michelangelo wanted the Pieta to be a depiction of the communion between God and his people through the sanctification of Jesus Christ.
We hope to continue adding sacred art around the Bishop Moore Catholic campus. If you are interested in making a donation to enhance our campus with sacred art, please contact Amanda Livermore: [email protected]. 407-293-7561, ext. 233.
SACRED SPACES
Father Anthony Aarons, TOR, our campus Chaplain, has been given a great honor and responsibility for our diocese and the Bishop Moore Catholic campus, and the honor was given by the Vatican!The Pontifi cal Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization has selected our own Father Anthony as a local Missionary of Mercy.
Pope Francis has declared a Jubilee Year of Mercy which began on December 8, 2015 and will end on November 20, 2016.
During this sacred time in the Church, Father Anthony will give missions or facilitate specific initiatives organized for the Jubilee,
with a particular attention given to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This is something already near and dear to Father Anthony's heart as he can often be seen sitting on the dock at Bishop Moore Catholic, hearing the confes-sions of our students. With his special honor, the Holy Father has given Father Anthony the authority to pardon even those sins reserved to the Holy See.

SACRED SPACES
What does it mean to be a daughter of the KING? We are each daughters of God the greatest King, priceless and dignifi ed. A small group of girls from 9th -12th grade had an opportunity to reflect on that very theme on the Bishop Moore Catholic Girls' overnight retreat in the fall.
At the beginning of the school year, Mary Kate ‘17, approached Amanda Livermore, Director of Mission Effectiveness, to discuss ideas for an all-girls' retreat. Each year, students have an opportunity to attend one retreat with their entire class, but some, like Mary Kate, wanted opportunities for more.
"Listening to Mary Kate and hearing her desire for a more meaningful relationship with Jesus was inspiring to me," said Mrs. Livermore. "I was happy to help her bring this idea to life." At the next meeting, Mary Kate was accompanied by five other young women, eager to plan a meaningful retreat for their classmates. Joined by Mrs. Livermore and Lisa Sojourner, Coordinator of Pastoral Care, the retreat
planning team developed the theme of "Daughters of the King," coming up with talk themes, activities, and prayers for the two-day retreat. Bishop John Noonan stopped by for a surprise visit and was encouraged to see these young women taking their faith so
seriously. He even shared some of his own memories of high school, when he did not yet know he was called to the priesthood.
As the retreat came to a close, the girls discussed the highlights. Many were impacted by their small group discussions, facilitated by the student leaders who had planned the retreat. These leaders each shared witness talks, telling part of their own faith journeys.
Other girls mentioned the powerful experience of praying for one another in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. During this time of prayer, the girls shared their fears and hopes with one another, then receiving support through the prayers of their friends.
LET’S GO HORNETS!

Since its inception, Bishop Moore Catholic's mascot has been the Hornet. We proudly wear our black and gold as athletes in a variety of sports, shouting "Let's Go Hornets" as we rally for our teams. As we focus on our Catholic identity here on campus and within the community, it lead us to ask the question, "Why Hornets?"
Recently, on a Boy's Golf Team retreat, Father Anthony Aarons, TOR, inspired the players with an explanation of the Hornet in scripture. They are actually mentioned three times throughout scripture: Exodus 23:28; Deuteronomy 7:20; and Joshua 24:12. All three references are to the miraculous interposition of God in driving out the enemy to clear the way for God's chosen ones to reach the promised land.
In Deuteronomy, God tells the Jews that He will remove those enemies that, “hide themselves from thee.” After the major wars had been fought, pockets of resistance to God's chosen ones remained in the promised land. The enemy was hidden and entrenched, and
extremely difficult to deal with and remove. God had a solution for them…He would send in His special army, the hornets.
Again in Joshua the Lord tells us, "And I sent the hornets ahead of you which drove them—the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgash-ites, Hivites, and Jebusites—out of your way; it was not your sword or your bow." This verse reminds us
that our successes are not by our own doing alone, but victory is only achieved with the help of God. As our football team prayed on their retreat, "One Moore for the Glory of God."
In Exodus, the Hornets are also sent out to clear the way. The translation of "Hornet" comes from the Hebrew 'sir’ah' which, according to ancient interpreters, refers to hornets that were unleashed against the enemy to sting them and cause panic.
Next time you shout, "Let's Go, Hornets," you'll know the power of that whom God chose to clear the way of obstacles so his people could reach their goal!

THE RTS AT BISHOP MOORE CATHOLICThe Black & Gold Brigade continues to grow and excel as ambassadors of the Bishop Moore Catholic Community.
The Brigade brings their enthusiastic support and Hornet pride to every football game, home and away. From Memorial Stadium to The Citrus Bowl, their participation is valuable and unwavering. Halftime brings the sights and sounds of their dedication to excellence and a testament to the why they have been called the “biggest little band” in Central Florida. This year their show was a presentation of the classic rock band Styx. It was so good they took it on the road and entered two Regional Florida March-ing Band Competitions (FMBC), bringing home multiple Division Championship trophies in both 1A and 2A.
One week after Parker B. conducted the Alma Mater in the Citrus Bowl for the Football 5A State Championship, the Band performed in the Amway Center for the Orlando Magic. The Black & Gold Brigade continues to
represent Bishop Moore Catholic at many community events throughout Central Florida from the Veterans’ Day Parade, the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade, Good Shepherd’s Mardi Gras Festival, St. Andrew’s Catholic School, St. James Cathedral School Golf Tournament, The Legacy Gala, and more.
A Brand new Conn 20K Sousaphone was purchased through the generous donations of our alumni, grandparents, and current parents. We will take that shiny, gold horn to Savannah, GA for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in March.

GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL STATE CHAMPS 2015WHEN YOU MAKE THE DECISION TO
PLAY BISHOP MOORE VOLLEYBALL,
YOU AREN'T HOPING TO MAKE A
TEAM, YOU'RE WANTING TO BE
WELCOMED INTO A FAMILY.
You want to surround yourself with girls and coaches who
want the very best for you, and who will do anything to help
you achieve your goals and rise to the next level. You make
a sacrifice from the heart and dedicate yourself to becoming
a person and a player far better than you could've ever
imagined.
At the beginning of each season,
Coach Jarvis asks the girls to think
about a few goals they would like
to achieve, and to agree on a team
quote that will define their work
ethic. This year the team chose
a Bible verse from Proverbs 27
which states, "As iron sharpens
iron, so one person sharpens another." Bishop Moore
volleyball dedicates itself to player development and emphasizes
the importance of team growth. If you are working as hard
as or harder than the girl next to you, you are destined for
success. Respect is instilled between ourselves and each
other. "When you put on those jerseys," says Coach Jarvis,
"you're playing for something much greater than yourself.
You're playing for your family, friends, community, and all of
the girls who wore your numbers before you."
After a five set defeat to state power PK Young, the Hornets
took it upon themselves to work harder than they had all
season. The energy and the focus at practice went to the next
level as they focused their eyes on the penultimate goal of
bringing home gold medals as state tournament champions.

GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL STATE CHAMPS 2015
Berkeley Prep Invitational
The Hornets finished third in the Berkeley
Prep Invitational this year against one of
the toughest fields of teams from all over
the nation. This tournament is always
a great time for the team to bond both
on the court and off the court through
traveling together. It was a great way
for the team to strengthen team
chemistry for the rest of the season. Dig Pink Tournament
Each year Bishop Moore Catholic
volleyball hosts the Swing for a Cure
tournament along with Winter Park
High School. In one of the strongest
fields in the state all season, the Hornets
emerged victorious. Some of our best
volleyball was played and the team had
huge wins that came from total team-
work. The real winner of the event was
the publicity and funds raised for cancer
research. Post Season
The fairytale season came to a close
with an undefeated post-season in
which every win towards the state
championship was a 3-0 sweep.
The state championship against Bishop
Kenny was almost like a home match
as the event was held at UCF. There
was no better feeling than holding up
the trophy for our school and having the
gold medals placed around our necks.
What an amazing way to end such an
incredible year!

The faith aspect has always been part of not just the football program, but all athletic programs. This year it began at team camp in August. Coach Matt Hedrick coordinated with Amanda Livermore, Director of Mis-sion Effectiveness, and Fr. Leo.Hodges, pastor of St. Andrew’s and former chap-lain at Bishop Moore Catholic. Fr Leo came to team camp in Umatilla (Florida Elks Youth Camp). Fr. Leo brought 60+ large rocks. As part of the homily, he asked the players to take a few minutes and then join the group of one of the prayer leaders he brought with him that day. Fr. Leo then had each player put their name on the rock along with the words “1 Moore for the Glory of God”. 1 Moore has been the motto for this year’s team since last spring. The rocks were placed at the base of the altar. Each athlete then wrote on a card imprinted
with “1 Moore for the Honor and Glory of God”, two things that they would “do” or “abstain” from for the honor and glory of God along with one thing that they would do for their “team”. These cards were then placed in a box that traveled with the team all year. At the conclusion of Mass, each player/coach went to the altar and selected a rock. They were to keep the rock in their locker and pray for that person during the season. Additionally, before each home game, the tradition of the “rock walk” was started. The players walked together from the locker room in the gym with their rocks, and placed them at the foot of the three crosses at the east end of the stadium. The tradition of benediction was brought back this season. It was something that was always done back in the 60’s and 70’s. Each week the team would gather at St. Charles Borromeo Church with Fr. Ralph DuWell. 15 minutes of silent meditation and prayer before the Blessed Sacrament followed by group prayer and singing of Holy God We Praise Thy Name.
THE SEASON IN REVIEW BMC football was coming off their best record (13-1) in school history that ended in a heartbreaking loss to American Heritage on a last minute field goal. The outlook for the season was very positive, even with a challenging schedule including Edgewater, South Sumter, Bartow, and Lake Brantley. The season opener against Edgewater started off with the annual pre-game tail-gate at Dubsdread sponsored by Dave Powers ’74 and United Legacy Bank. For the third year in a row, the Hornets packed the stadium and cheered the team on to victory. The 35-7 final score returned the Battle of College Park trophy to campus. The Hornets continued their success with wins over Lyman, 24-7 and The First Academy, 33-6 before beginning district play. The Hornets went 4-0 in district play to extend their winning streak to 31 consecutive wins and 7 consecutive district championships. South Sumter came to Harry Nelson Field on October 8th for a Brighthouse game of the week and sporting a 39 game winning streak. The mighty Hornets prevailed with a 33-14 win. The Hornet’s success continued as they made their way to Bartow, a team they had not played ironically since the 1970

playoffs. This game was expected to be a big test for the Hornets. It was highlighted by a pre-game pep talk given by former NFL player and current parent Ray Lewis. Bishop Moore Catholic flexed its muscle and defeated Bartow 44-6. The season finale against Lake Brantley was a highly anticipated showdown of undefeated highly ranked teams. A packed house at Lake Brantley cheered on both teams. Unfortunately on this night, the Hornets came up short (42-6) and ended hope of an undefeated season. Coach Matt Hedrick now had to regroup and prepare for the 2nd season. Their motto since last spring of “1 Moore” which signified many things – 1 Moore sprint, 1 Moore lift, 1 Moore win, 1 Moore whatever it took was made very clear to the team. With a renewed spirit and commitment to the team, the Hornets withstood tough opponents before making it to the state title game. In front of a home-town crowd of 4,457, the team prepared itself for “1 Moore” battle. It was a back and forth battle with Crawfordville Wakul-la. When time expired, the team gathered and shouted “1 Moore for the glory of God!” The Hornets had emerged with a dramatic 37-34 victory. The drought was finally over as Bishop Moore won its first football championship since 1970.
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME HIGHLIGHTS
Trey P. had an 18 yard rush down the Bishop Moore sideline for the go-ahead score with 70 seconds remaining.
Jason T. and Zander Z. combined for a sack with 27 seconds left and Wakulla QB and kicker Franks was unable to connect on the game-tying field goal try five plays later.
“I had no idea how amazing this would feel,” said Zander, a senior, who was in on two sacks and seven tackles – including one for a safety. He also blocked a punt. “I’ve always dreamed about it but I’ve never felt like this before.”
“We played better in the second half,” BMC coach Matt Hedrick said. “Our guys knew we were close, and it was the team that wanted it most, that was going to find a way to win.”
QB Collin H. finished 13-of -16 passing for 128 yards with two
touchdowns to Rayshad L. and added 59 yards rushing.
Rayshad L. did it all for the Hornets offensively as he caught
seven passes for 94 yards, returned three kicks for 112 yards, and rushed four times for 33 yards. He added two solo tackles as a defensive back.
“To play football and make it to a state championship, and win it, is a kid’s
dream,” Rayshad L. said. “The fact that we did it is unbelievable.”
It was even more pleasing to BMC athletic director, Mike Malatesta, QB of the 1970 team that last won the state championship, as he placed the championship medallions around the necks of this year’s team. “Every Bishop Moore Catholic alum is extremely proud of the accomplishment of this team as was shown by their presence here today.”
The season finale against Lake Brantley was a highly anticipated showdown of undefeated highly ranked teams. A packed house at Lake Brantley cheered on both teams. Unfortunately on this

It was an incredible year for the Boys’ Varsity Golf team as they placed 5th at the FHSAA Class 2A State Championship at Mission Inn Resort & Club, Howey-in-the-Hills, FL on October 30 & 31, 2015. Additionally the team claimed the FHSAA 2A District 10 and Regional 4 Championship titles for the first time in the school’s 62-year history.
In District play at Dubsdread Golf Course (par 70) on October 12th, Bishop Moore Catholics’s team score of 307 was 20 strokes better than the 2nd place team. Under ideal conditions, BMC was led by medalist Ignacio A. (73) and runner-up Davis H. (74). This was the second District title for BMC.
On October 19th, Walkabout Golf Club (par 72), Mims, FL, hosted the Regional Tournament where Bishop Moore Catholic captured their first ever Regional title by posting a 313 under very blustery conditions. BMC was led by co-medalists Ignacio A. and Nicholas D. (76). BMC outpaced the 2nd place team by 21 strokes.
At the state tournament, the Hornets got off to a rough start on Day 1, posting a team score of 339; good enough for 9th position out of a field of 16 team finalists. But the resilient Hornets bounced back strong on Day 2 with a score of 307, the 3rd best team score of the two day event. The Hornets 32-point score reduction was the largest turnaround among all 16 teams. Palmer L. (158 - T14th) edged out Davis H. (159 – T20th) for team medalist honors.
Fourth year Head Coach Marvin Snyder stated, “165 teams entered the Class 2A tournament and I couldn’t be more proud of a Top 5 finish. That was our goal all season long; even after the boys struggled on Day 1, we all knew they could do it!”
The 2015 Girls’ Golf season was one of rebuilding coupled with some great milestones. The team was comprised of several newcomers this season.

The bowling program continues to roll! The program consists of a Boys’ team that finished as a team with a 7 wins and 2 loss record. While the Girls’ team finished with a 5 wins and 4 loss record. The Boys’ Varsity Program advanced in the District Tournament and eventually lost to the state champions in the District Playoffs. The Girls’ team fell just short of advancing in District play by 100 pins, finishing 5th overall in the district (Top 4 Advance).
In District play at Wekiva Lanes, Bishop Moore Catholic’s team finished in 4th place to advance in the afternoon playoffs. BMC was led by Daniel B. (Class of 2017), and senior leader, Carson K. (Class of 2016). The overall team scores were the highest posted scores all year.
The Girls’ team was lead by a strong senior class, Kallee T. was the most consistent player with her pin count and anchored the Girls’ team as their overall leader.
Tenth year Head Coach Dave Manchon appreciated the type of sportsmanship and leadership our Boys’ and Girls’ programs exemplified on and off the lanes.
It was another wonderful season for the Bishop Moore Catholic Cross Country Program! This year both the Boys’ and Girls’ teams advanced to the FHSAA State Finals in Tallahassee, Florida!
The teams began their season in the mountains of Brevard, North Carolina at a national running camp, where they improved their cardiovascular abilities and learned important race day strategies and techniques. The students ran more than 50 miles in one week!
The Girls’ team won two meets this year at the Trinity Prep Invitational, Embry Riddle Asics Classic (3rd year in a row), and placed runner-up at The Savanna Mohney Invitational and Lady Hawk Invite. The girls fought hard for their bid to the State finals, and for Ashley M., her senior year was capped off with her fourth trip to the State Finals.
The Boys’ Cross Country team was led by stand out sophomore, James R., and in his first season with the Cross Country program won both the Most Valuable Runner and Rookie of the Year awards. He also was the only Hornet to advance to the FHSAA Championships.

Bishop Moore Catholic Swimming had 18 boys and 22 girls for the 2015-2016 season. All levels of swimmers were swimming at least 4,000 yds per practice, with the highest swimming nearly 6,000.
The venue for the Catholic Invitational changed this year to the Lake Highland Aquatics facility where we hosted 11 teams inclusive. Bishop Verot won the girls’ competition while St. Thomas Aquinas won the boys’. Bishop Moore Catholic placed 3rd and 4th respectively. With it happening later in the season, almost as a Districts warm-up, a number of athletes had stand-out swims achieving season-best times, if not personal bests.
At Regionals, held at the YMCA Aquatic Center here in Orlando, 6 individuals and 2 relays placed in the Top 8. Congratulations to Daniel W. for winning Regionals in the 100 breaststroke.
To qualify for the State meet, swimmers must be Top 2 in their Region or be in the Top 24 across all Regions. Bishop Moore Catholic had three swimmers move on to the State meet: Seniors Emily O. (3rd in the 500), Senior Fernan A. (5th in the 100 fly), and Freshman Daniel W. (1st in the 100 breaststroke).
This year was Emily's second state qualification in the 500 freestyle where she finished 23rd. It was also Fernan's second state qualification in the 100 butterfly where he finished 12th. Through his State Series swims (Districts, Regionals, State), he broke the school record 4 times with his best being 53.80.
Daniel, in his first state appearance, placed 17th.

Hundreds of grandparents gathered with their grandchildren to pray, enjoy breakfast, and tour the campus. Students loved showing the school to their grand-parents and showing off their beloved grandparents to their friends. In a moving speech, BMC Senior Christen B. shared the great influence her grandparents have had on her own faith development. “Through my grandparents’ perfect exam-ple of love, their immense influence on my prayer life, and their willingness to always lend a helping hand, they have guided and shaped my Catholic faith so that I may one day, God willing, do the same for my children and grandchildren.”
Our athletes offer many gifts, utilizing their strengths both in our community and the collegiate level. Some even commit to college programs several years before their own high school graduation. These successes are made even more significant because of the foundation on which we play, the Gospel message.
Students take ownership of the spiritual life of their team by planning they own retreats with the guidance of Amanda Livermore, our Director of Mission Effectiveness. She emphasizes that “the students are the ones who know who they are and for what they are searching.”
In these planning meetings coaches and team captains are asked to reflect on a scripture which will serve as inspi-ration for their year. From this scripture comes the theme of the retreat, as well as prayer partner tokens that serve to help students pray for one another and remember the faith on which we stand.
For the football team it was Ephesians 3:20-21: Each player was given a rock with “1 Moore for the Glory of God” and another players name for whom they prayed all season.
For the girls’ varsity soccer it was Mark 9:23: shortened to “I believe” as they carried the prayer partner tokens of soccer octagons.
Boys’ golf chose Deuteronomy 31:6: and carried ball markers to remind then to pray for one another.
Girls’ varsity volleyball chose Proverbs 21:27: with each girl wearing an iron colored bracelet inscribed with the words.
Teams were supported in these retreats by numerous clergy and religious in our community. Fr. Leo Hodges helped to lead the overnight retreat for the football team. Our campus chaplain, Fr. Anthony Aarons, offered Mass for soccer, golf, and volleyball. Sr. Kathleen Powers ‘59 served as team chaplain for the girls varsity volleyball team, proudly wearing
the championship medal for weeks afterward.
Spring teams have also begun planning their retreats. The teams have invited religious sisters or priests to be their chaplains. It is our hope that this program of athletic team retreats and chaplains will continue to grow in the future as each player finds his or her purpose and motivation in the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.
Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, do from the heart,
as for the Lord and not for others.

FOND MEMORIESI arrived at Bishop Moore in 10th grade as a transfer from Westridge and Oak Ridge system. I have two favorite memories - one is that on my first day I knew two people in the entire school – Paul Greco and Mike Passilla. The other is my last day of school – being surrounded by what felt like hundreds of great friends and having such confidence knowing that this great institution taught us and was supporting us. I still thank Paul and Mike for looking out for me in that first year.
HIGHLIGHTSSoccer, I played one year and was goal keeper on junior varsity. Those guys were genuine characters and athletes.
IMPACT OF YOUR CATHOLIC FAITHAs Catholics we are taught to help people and to be kind. These values have absolutely helped me professionally. It is true that if a business does not make money it will not be successful, but it is also true that the best companies have “helping people” as part of their core values. This can manifest itself in many ways, ranging from a company’s charitable contribution philosophy, to how it manages its employees, to its customer service and product decisions.
ADVICE FOR CLASS OF 2016My advice would be to try to get to know new people better every day. By doing this you will help them, help yourself, and help your shared community.
BUSINESS ACCOMPLISHMENTSChristopher Jaskiewicz is the Chief Operating Officer of Gotham Organization, Inc., a 100 year old Manhattan-based company which develops, builds, owns and operates distinctive real estate properties. He is responsible for the operations of Gotham’s portfolio of approximately three million square feet of residential and retail properties.
Chris is also President of Gotham Hospitality,which develops and owns artisanal restaurant and bar venues in NYC. He was the executive in charge of developing Gotham West Market, a first-of-its-kind day-and-night market spanning a full city block which has been named “one of America’s best food halls” by Travel & Leisure, Food & Wine, and more. Chris is currently leading the development of Gotham’s next hospitality venue in Brooklyn, and he is frequently called upon as an expert source for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Bon Appetit and more.
FROM BISHOP MOORE CATHOLIC TO TODAYAt Bishop Moore, Chris played baseball and was elected senior class president. After graduating in 1985, Chris attended Florida State University where he became active in Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and student government. Then, Chris traveled abroad to study at the American University of Paris. Chris worked for PepsiCo for two
years before attending law school at St. John’s University in New York City. While at St. John’s, Chris met his wife Christine (Villanova ’93), and they now have three children: Jacqueline (12), Christopher Jr. (9) and Giselle (5).

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHTSThis year Fernando Varela signed a global recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft MBH, Universal Music.
He has performed alongside an incred-ible list of super stars including David Foster, Barbra Streisand, Lionel Richie, Babyface, Kelly Clarkson, Keith Ur-ban,and Jewel. Before all this Fernando was a student here at BMC who didn’t start singing until his senior year.
Recently, Ana Crowe, Director of Alumni, caught up with Fernando between European trips to ask him how BMC had impacted his life and career.
AC: How has your Catholic faith impact-ed your professional life?
FV: My faith has been a huge part of my life. It has given me strength in the hardest times of my professional and personal life. Fighting through the initial career stages as an artist are difficult to say the least, but I always clung to my faith because I knew that this was what I was called to do. I’ll never forget Father Charlie’s homily to us at Confirmation, he told us “Be the light in the world for all to see. Don’t ever be ashamed to let your light shine as brightly as possible. The brighter your light shines, the brighter all will see the power of Jesus Christ.”
AC: What is your favorite memory of your time at BMC?
FV: It would have to be all of the friends I made. I have great memories of sitting on the dock by the lake, cheering on our sports teams, and having some of the greatest teachers I’ve ever met.
AC: Which teacher had the greatest impact on you?
FV: I had several amazing teachers that really went above and beyond for their
students. The one teacher that shines the brightest in my mind is Mrs. Coto. I had her for three years. She always pushed me beyond my limits and really helped in my growth as a person. She recently came out to a concert of mine and it was so wonderful to see her again.
AC: What was your favorite subject or club at Bishop Moore Catholic?
FV: My favorite subject was choir. I actually didn’t start singing until my senior year. I had no idea at the time that I would actually have a successful career in music.
AC: What piece of advice would you impart on current students and the senior class of 2016?
FV: My advice to current students and the senior class: Firstly, CONGRATU-LATIONS on bringing home the state football championship! That’s been a long time coming. I was in Germany when I heard the news and yelled out a big "Go Hornets" - people looked at me strange but it was worth it. In all serious-ness, I challenge you to chase after your dreams. I meet so many people that despise their jobs. I love what I do. It’s not always glamorous. There’s a lot of work, pain, and sacrifice that goes into
it. But, regardless of what you end up doing in life you will experience a lot of work, pain, and sacrifice. So why not do something that you love and devote your life to becoming the best you can be at it. Something that feeds your soul and positively impacts people’s lives. You have the foundation from your time at BMC to do anything you want in life. I’ll never forget some advice that was given to me by David Foster (16 time Grammy Award Winning Producer and Song-writer) while I was touring with him. He said, “Good enough is Greatness’ worst enemy." Most people fail because they settle for mediocrity. Strive for greatness always with humility and never lose sight of where you came from nor the people that helped you get there.

It’s impossible to walk across campus with-
out seeing evidence of the impact Bishop
Moore Catholic’s donors make.
You can see it in the number of students on
campus, many of whom rely on financial
assistance. Enrollment is up once again
and, this fall, Bishop Moore Catholic
welcomed its largest freshman class ever.
You can see it in classrooms and during campus club meetings.
And on bulletin boards filled with fliers promoting upcoming speakers,
events, and opportunities. And in the faces of our students on the
athletic fields and performance venues.
Thanks to the generosity of many, Bishop Moore Catholic continues
to offer an outstanding student experience.
