Mr. Terry Monihan, a former teacher at Seton, died this week. His Mass of Christian Burialwas celebrated last Saturday (Nov 27, 2010) at All Saints Catholic Church. Mr. Monihan taught geography and Latin at Seton and Latin at our sister school St. John Neumann. Mr. Monihan was a brilliant Latin scholar who was virtually bilingual in the language, which was very much alive to him. He knew Latin so well that he was able to continue teaching even after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. He was also noted for his sense orf humor and, above all, his deep and abiding love for his Catholic Faith.
We extend our sympathies to his sons, Nicholas and Christopher, both of whom attended Seton, and to his loving wive Peggy, who devotedly cared for him during his illness. The marriage vows read “I will be true to you in good times and in bad”. But Peggy is living proof that in a truly Christ-centered and self-giving marriage, there are no “bad times”, only opportunities to give love.

In 1981, Tom and Mary Ellen Vander Woude moved their (at the time) five sons from Georgia to Manassas, VA to attend Seton School. Over the years, Tom served on Seton’s Board of Directors, ran the homeschool, coached the junior varsity and varsity boys’ soccer and basketball teams. He served as a jack of all trades to provide for Seton’s needs including installing its current wood floor, bleachers, curtain, and even electricity. Six of his sons graduated from Seton, but all seven of them were involved in Seton’s basketball program. Tom even coached his grandson Tim on the junior varsity. Two years ago, on the Feast of Our Lady’s Nativity, he died as he lived – giving generously of himself to save his youngest son, Joseph.
On the second anniversary of his death, Seton dedicated the gym floor in his memory. The ceremony began with the rosary led by his former players, altar boys and granddaughter Maggie. Afterward, Mrs. Carroll and Mr. Tim Heisler read tributes written by Mr. Westhoff, Bishop Loverde, Archbishop Chaput and others. Father Tom Vander Woude then blessed the court and the student body. Fittingly, due to all the Marian days hosted at the Vander Woude home, the ceremony opened and closed with hymns to Our Lady. Thank you to all the students, parents, friends and alumni who attended the event.
