President Marbach with former principals Sr. Patricia Flynn, Sr. Mary Alice Feenane, and Sr. Kathleen Boyce

Dear Friends,

Letter from the President

As I reflect on the past academic year, I am filled with pride and gratitude for a community that fosters confident, compassionate leaders. At Gwynedd Mercy, our mission—to educate, inspire, and empower young women—extends far beyond graduation. Each year, our alumnae demonstrate the lasting impact of a Mercy education, advancing communities and professions worldwide while giving back to the school that shaped them.

This year, we celebrate alumnae who are truly making their mark. From seasoned professionals leading in their fields to recent graduates stepping confidently into significant roles early in their careers, our graduates embody the courage, service, and leadership that define a Gwynedd Mercy woman. Many return to campus to share their expertise through panels, volunteer work, and mentoring, creating a powerful cycle of inspiration that strengthens our entire community and advances our strategic vision, She is the Future

Today, our 471 Monarchs, the largest student body in our history, are thriving. Their success is fueled by opportunities made possible through the Mercy Fund, financial aid supported by the EITC Program, our new Monarch Wing, and the strategic direction of our academic plan, The Flight Plan. Together, these initiatives elevate classroom excellence, nurture each student’s whole-person development, and open specialized learning pathways led by our exceptional faculty.

Your generosity is at the heart of all this progress. Loyal donors and volunteers empower every Monarch—past, present, and future—to dream boldly, achieve confidently, and serve with compassion. Through your commitment, we continue to build a legacy of empowered women who lead with purpose at Gwynedd Mercy and far beyond.

THE CLASS OF 2025 Honoring at Commencement

On June 7, the 96 women of the Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School Class of 2025 processed in white into the School’s Performing Arts Center carrying bouquets of red roses to celebrate the School’s 164th Commencement.

During her invocation, Camille Campbell gave thanks for the gift of a Gwynedd education rooted in mercy and sisterhood. She prayed that the Class of 2025 would carry the spirit of compassion, courage, and service into the world, continuing the legacy of Mercy Girls past and present.

Salutatorian Sarah Giordano explored the idea of “inscape”—the unique, felt essence of a place—and how it captures the spirit of Gwynedd. Through personal reflection, she described how Gwynedd became more than just a school; it became a home filled with steady care, lasting connections, and the presence of God and mercy. Each member of the class was then presented to President Denise Corkery Marbach ’72 and Board of Trustees Chair Melva Exner ’77 to receive her graduation medal and diploma. Additional medals were awarded to graduates in recognition of outstanding school spirit, honor, service, leadership, and academic performance.

“You are Gwynedd Girls—rooted in Mercy and built to rise.”

President Marbach introduced the 2025 Commencement Speaker, Kathleen Kirk Bellwoar ’81, Immediate Past Chair of the Academy’s Board of Trustees. A Partner and Head of the Philadelphia Office at Sia Partners, a global management consulting firm, she also leads the firm’s CIO Advisory Team.

In her address, Kathy offered heartfelt advice rooted in resilience, failure, and the power of persistence. Drawing from her own life and career, she shared personal stories and four key lessons: believe in yourself, embrace challenges, never give up on those you love, and make time for service.

She reminded the Class of 2025 that the world needs their voices, their brilliance, and their Mercy spirit, urging them to lead with compassion and courage. Her final message: “You are ready. You are not alone. You are part of something bigger now—a legacy of strong, smart, purposeful women who lift others as they lead. And when life knocks you down—get back up. And begin again.”

Valedictorian Calliope Beatty and her mom prepare to crown the Blessed Mother

President Marbach then celebrated National Merit Scholarship Winner Lauren Ryan, along with Commended Students Calliope Beatty and Sarah Giordano, for their exemplary academic achievements.

In her closing remarks, Valedictorian Calliope Beatty reflected on how the Class of 2025 transformed from strangers into sisters through the shared experiences of their Gwynedd Mercy journey. Using the metaphor of transubstantiation, she illustrated how their bonds, though not always visible, are deeply real and lasting.

Finally, the graduates, alumnae, faculty, and staff sang the Alma Mater, just before the Class of 2025 processed to the Chapel for the crowning of the Blessed Mother by Calliope Beatty with her mother Maria by her side.

ELEVATING BUSINESS AS A MERCY-FULL LEADER

With leadership, courage, and compassion as her guiding principles, Kathleen Kirk Bellwoar ’81—the Commencement Speaker and recipient of the 2024–25 Margaret Beirn Barger ’35 Distinguished Alumnae Award—truly embodies Mercy in action.

A former student body president, Kathy went on to earn a business degree from Villanova University and a master’s in organizational dynamics from the University of Pennsylvania. She launched her career at Arthur Andersen before founding PPT Consulting in 2003—a management and IT consulting firm focused on People, Process, and Technology.

With Kathy’s leadership as founder and president, PPT grew into a nationally recognized firm, repeatedly named among the fastestgrowing businesses by INC5000, Philly100, and Soaring 76. It was also honored as a top WomanOwned Business by DiversityBusiness.com. In 2021, PPT was acquired by global consultancy Sia Partners, where Kathy now leads the Philadelphia office and the firm’s global CIO Advisory Team.

Kathy has earned numerous accolades, including Consulting Magazine’s Women Leaders in Technology (2020), Philly Biz’s Women to Watch (2017), and awards recognizing her leadership and entrepreneurial success. Recently, she devoted nine years to the Academy’s Board of Trustees, serving seven as Chair, where she helped guide the school through transformative efforts such as the She is the Future strategic plan and the A Place to Soar capital campaign, which funded a new wing designed for community, counseling, and learning spaces.

Kathy’s leadership is inspired by a rich Gwynedd Mercy family tradition and her role as a wife and mother of three. These personal ties fuel her passion for nurturing communities and fostering growth—both in her professional career and within the school she proudly serves.

At press time, our dedicated friend, Melva Exner, entered eternal rest with our Lord. We share this tribute with loving hearts and deep gratitude for her devotion and leadership.

GWYNEDD GIRL A Lifelong

Melva Exner, Esq. ’77, P’11 became a Mercy Girl and entered Gwynedd Mercy Academy in first grade, when the school was still an elementary school and high school combined. Now, after a successful career as an attorney, she leads the Academy as the Chair of the Board of Trustees, ensuring its legacy for many years to come.

create a class and taught the pair during their lunch period. “There was a focus on education and widening our view of the world,” she says.

Melva’s classmates chose a few key words to sum up their friend in her senior yearbook caption. First on their list: “leader.” This word encompasses the roles Melva has taken on throughout her life as a lawyer, a mother, and an alumna of Gwynedd Mercy—from her current position as the Board of Trustees Chair, to her years as part of the Alumnae Association Board, acting as President, Vice President, and Committee Chair. Melva always answers the call and lends her talent, expertise, and feedback when she’s needed. She has worked tirelessly to ensure the legacy and longevity of Gwynedd Mercy, as a parent, a volunteer, and an advocate.

As a student and member of Student Council, Melva was encouraged to help shape the school she wanted to see. "There was an open-mindedness here,” she shares. “If you wanted to change something, then you were encouraged to go do it." And the school provided the resources—like when Melva and her friend Mary Higgins Fletcher ’77 were interested in learning about Middle Eastern affairs. They discussed this with the principal, Margaret Donohue, R.S.M. ’56, who went on to

After her time in the red and gold corridors, Melva went on to Saint Joesph’s University to earn her undergraduate degree, then Temple University’s Beasley School of Law. She worked as a lawyer for an Italian aircraft manufacturer and often found herself as the only woman in many of the rooms she worked in. Eventually, she started her own law firm, which she ran until 2024.

Today, Melva leads the governing body of Gwynedd Mercy and has seen it grow physically with the addition of the new Monarch Wing and the enrollment of the school’s largest student body. She has also seen the school evolve academically and programmatically, continuously innovating to prepare students for life outside the red and gold corridors. “I’m blown away by educators. They never say ‘that’s it’—they are always coming up with something new to give the girls better opportunities,” she says. “I often leave my meetings feeling so impressed.”

Years as a Gwynedd Student: 12 Melva attended the school when it was open to grades K-12.

Year She Got Involved as an Alumna: 1985

“The Alumnae Association was borderline inactive, but Ruth Miller P’76, former faculty member, reinvigorated it. It was a great way to spend time with my sisters and other alumnae.”

Favorite Event: Trocaire Awards Presentation

The awards were created to honor alumnae accomplishments in 2010, as part of the school’s 150th anniversary.

Favorite Tradition: Graduation

Melva handed the diplomas to the Class of 2025 and shares, “It’s a marvel to think of who each graduate might become.”

Why She Supports Gwynedd: “It’s my belief in the value of what women bring to the world and the education of the Sisters of Mercy.” Melva’s senior portrait

Honor Roll of Donors

The generosity of our loyal donors makes it possible for Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School to educate, inspire, and empower generations of young women—rooted in Mercy values—to achieve success in college, in their professions, and in life, while making a lasting difference in the world.

This Honor Roll of Donors recognizes all who contributed between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. Alumnae, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends have strengthened Gwynedd’s academic program, enriched the student experience, advanced She is the Future strategic initiatives, and helped make the new Monarch Wing a reality.

As Catherine McAuley, founder of the Sisters of Mercy, reminds us: “No work of charity can be more productive of good to society than the careful instruction of women.”

Named for the year of Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School’s founding, the 1861 Society honors donors whose annual gifts of $1,000 or more advance the School’s excellence. Membership levels: Innovator ($5,000+), Leader ($1,861–$4,999), Associate ($1,000–$1,860).
