"I first walked the labyrinth outside of Burns library when I was a freshman in college. I ended up transferring schools the next year, and I didn't picture myself ever really being back on BC's campus. I think that's why it feels extra special to be here. I came back to this spot for prayer a lot in the latter half of 2024 through most of 2025, several years after moving back to Boston and before my time at the CSTM, while I was deep in the discernment process about where I belonged both in life and work. I trudged the path many, many times feeling like I had no real answers but simply a desire for purpose and meaning, and I experience working in Admissions at the CSTM as a real response to those contemplations. I love getting to meet so many amazing students as they are asking the same questions in real-time, and I feel so grateful to get to play a small part in their discernment and figuring out what's the next right thing for them. There is a real sense of connectedness, belonging, and peace that I experience in being part of the CSTM and the larger Boston College community, and it brings many years (and many prayers) very full-circle." -Maddie Cann, Admissions & Financial Aid Specialist

“'Give me Thy love and thy grace, for this is sufficient for me.' I have always been fascinated and stumped by the radical nature of the Suscipe Prayer written by St. Ignatius of Loyola. Total surrender and trust in God have never come easy to me, and the simplicity of only requiring God’s love and grace has been an incredible revelation since I began at the CSTM. In 2023, while living in Yap, Micronesia, I began discerning a call to the Jesuit Order, and was rapidly falling in love with high school ministry. After returning to the US, I began to work at a diocesan Catholic high school. As the years passed, I continued to discern, and the timing and desire for a vocation to the priesthood were not yet right for me. A few hours after I had said 'not yet' to the Jesuits, I got a stinging feeling in my heart to pay attention to the advertisements I was seeing for Boston College’s CSTM. Out of God’s love, I decided to trust in the unknown and submitted my application.

Since beginning my studies last year at the CSTM, new life has been brought to my ministry. I quickly went from teaching theology to being a school counselor. During that time in the counselor role, I created a retreat experience for my school community and began to see high school education as my vocation. Often in real time, I can live out what I learn through the CSTM. The education meets my practical experience, and I am able to be formed by and alongside other theologians actively expressing their call as I am learning and growing in mine. The CSTM has illuminated God’s love and grace within the halls of my high school, and being able to apply the teachings from my courses into my ministry will serve me well as I move back into the classroom this upcoming school year. Embarking in any higher education requires trust and patience, but, especially at the CSTM, a total surrender to and trust in God is revelatory in remarkable ways. -Marino Angeloni, M.A. '27
