Vermont Olympian Ilona Maher is a role model for female athletes
In a joking manner, Michael Maher warned her daughter that she'd better practice before throwing out the first pitch prior to a San Diego Padres home game last month. "I just know that a lot of celebrities have made fools of themselves at first-pitch events. I also know she’s perfectly capable of throwing a ball from outfield to home plate," Michael Maher said.

Most Rev. John McDermott Ordained and Installed as Diocese’s Eleventh Bishop
On Monday, July 15, at the Cathedral of Saint Joseph, the Diocese of Burlington officially ordained and installed her eleventh bishop, the Most Reverend John J. McDermott. Bishop McDermott’s ordination Mass, in addition to being a joyous occasion for the diocese, was remarkable in several respects; while the ordination took place in the presence of His Eminence Christophe Cardinal Pierre, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, and was principally consecrated by His Eminence Sean Cardinal O’Malley, Metropolitan Archbishop of Boston, it was additionally witnessed by His Eminence Gerald Cardinal LaCroix, Archbishop of Quebec and Primate of Canada. For the first time in diocesan history, the episcopal ordination was co-consecrated by two former bishops of the Diocese of Burlington: Archbishop Christopher Coyne and Bishop Salvatore Matano. Bishop McDermott is the first priest of the Diocese of Burlington to be made Vermont’s bishop since the ordination of Bishop Robert Joyce in 1954.

When teaching peace, ‘You gotta walk the walk, not just talk the talk
Just as it is with teaching any value, parents and educators teach peace by modeling it as well as by talking about it. “Many clichés are true, and one of them is, ‘You gotta walk the walk, not just talk the talk,’” said Robin McCormick, director of development and member of the admissions and communications teams at St. Francis Xavier School in Winooski and mother of seven ranging in age from 24 to 43. “You can’t scream at kids and then be surprised when they scream at others. … You can’t refuse to apologize when you’ve made a mistake and then be surprised when a child never shows contrition for bad behavior. Telling kids what is right is good. Showing kids what is right is better.”
