Note from the President

Dear Alumni and Friends of Archbishop Carroll,

In April, so many milestones gather in my family—my daughter (25), my son (27), and I all share birthdays in the first week of the month. This year, my birthday fell on my family’s Saturday night Easter dinner. We were all together—my parents, my siblings and their children and grandchildren, and many cousins with their families—filling the table with laughter, conversation, and love.

I remember standing in my cousin’s beach house, just taking it all in: the warmth of being surrounded by so many people who know us, pray for us, and care for one another. Then on Sunday morning, we gathered again for a beautiful Easter Mass and brunch—an unbroken rhythm of faith and family, joy and gratitude.  As Pope John Paul II stated:

“The family is rightly described as the domestic Church. As such, it transmits the faith and the Christian value system from one generation to the next… With all our hearts we should encourage family prayer and a family sacramental life, centered around the Eucharist.”

When Easter comes to our homes like that—through shared meals, shared prayer, and the Eucharist at the center—it feels like the Resurrection reaches not only our hearts, but our relationships and everyday life.

I hope that all of you had opportunity to celebrate Easter in your hearts and your home,

God bless you and your families, 
Tricia

Momentum is building here at Carroll as we break ground on our new multi-purpose turf field, an exciting step forward for our school community. Thanks to the incredible generosity of more than 100 alumni, parents, and friends, this long-envisioned project is finally becoming a reality.

We are honored to share that the field will be named Mother Cabrini Field, a tribute to Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini. Her legacy of faith, resilience, and dedication to serving others reflects the values we strive to instill in our students each day. This space will stand as a lasting reminder of her mission and the strength of our Carroll community.

Now that construction has started we look ahead with great anticipation, not only for this project, but for what’s to come in Phase II. Together, we are building something truly special.

Phase II Donations are being accepted

Teacher who has made a difference
by: Reagan Z. '26

Miss Marielle Mussoline | Campus Minister

"Ms. Mussoline has made a meaningful difference in my life as a student at Carroll, especially since this is her first year teaching here. She is always welcoming and truly keeps her door open whenever someone needs to talk. She supports me both in and out of the classroom and is always willing to help when I need it. She has helped me grow not only as a student, but also as a person. Because of her, I have become more confident in my faith and in being a better Catholic. She encourages me to do the right thing and to treat others with kindness and respect. I am really grateful to have her as a teacher at Carroll."
