On February 2nd, Molloy held a prayer service in honor of Black History Month, reflecting on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The service was created and entirely led by students, who spoke, recited poetry, shared reflections, and performed.
Anthony Kerr ‘23 began the service with a welcome speech, encouraging everyone in attendance to “embrace change within ourselves and as a community,” and to “believe in and fight for our dreams.” Karolina Lundqvist ‘23 followed, singing “Amazing Grace” in the form of prayer. Abigail Mallia ‘23 read an excerpt from Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and Favour Olobor ‘23 reflected, saying, “I believe that our school community is capable of bringing dreams to action.” Favour continued, “I have a dream that we as Stanners will live in such harmony that we will be an example to not only future Stanners, but to every single person we come across.”
Aiden Wynter ‘23 and Tarik Lajoie ‘23 led intentions, praying for justice and equality. Antonia Dey ‘24 ended the service with an original poem, in collaboration with members of Molloy’s Step Team, Jaiden Clarke ‘23, Gina Garcia ‘23, Favour Olobor ‘23, and Shathia Lupi O’Brien ‘24. Thank you to all who made the prayer service possible.
