Stone Ridge seniors will bring faith and service fostered there to Boston College
Two members of the class of 2026 at Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart in Bethesda, Caroline Fielding and Maeve Dyer, say their faith and service experiences there have shaped them as they prepare to join several classmates in attending Boston College this fall.
“My faith has definitely grown here,” said Caroline Fielding, who said as a retreat leader there, she was able to connect with her faith to other students. “God is love. That’s the main thing I took away. God is all around and love is all around. There’s a lot of love at Stone Ridge.”
She and her parents, Gabrielle and Christopher Fielding, are parishioners at Holy Trinity in Georgetown along with her twin brother, John, a senior at Gonzaga College High School in Washington who will also be attending Boston College. The family members volunteer at Holy Trinity serving dinner to people in need, including the working poor.
“I’ve gotten to know a lot of guests. It’s really great to interact with them,” she said.
At Stone Ridge, her service has included volunteering with Best Buddies, joining activities and making friends with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. “They’re always so kind to me… These are some of the happiest people I’ve encountered,” she said.
