See which area teams are on cusp of cracking Top 10 in latest high school football poll
Two sets of Rams made two of the biggest impressions in Connecticut high school football this weekend. The top-ranked New Canaan Rams once again flexed their defensive muscle and did so to win their showdown with then-No. 2 Greenwich, 14-7, on Friday. The Cheshire Rams, meanwhile, make their season debut at No. 9, a truly wild development given they received just one 14th-place vote three weeks…

Game 1 of the football season is in the books. #Project365
The pre-broadcast game faces of Shawn Sailer, me, Sean Adams, Dan Murphy, and Chris Erway The first Greenwich football game of 2023 is in the books and it ended just like the last game of last year. Greenwich 35, Fairfield Prep 21. Different score but same result. Greenwich’s defense looked insane and their offense and special teams had a few hiccups but still played well. In short, the…

What Year is it?
We're back. Tomorrow. Finally. 1:50 pregame show. #Project365
It’s Connecticut’s turn. There were a few football games in the state last night. More are scheduled for tonight though the heat and thunderstorms are messing with those plans. But I’m listening to Jeff Alterman and Sawyer Nicholas (and now Mike Buswell) on the TEN Network as they call Trumbull/Hamden and the season is rolling. Here, it’s almost time. Roughly 16 hours. Fairfield Prep at…

Rev. Charles Allen, S.J.
Fairfield University Chaplain and Special Assistant to the President
It was the spring of 1966 and I had just completed my studies in philosophy at Weston College. Along with a group of my classmates, led by Mr. John Reboli, S.J., a Fairfield University graduate, we set out to see the world beginning with Fairfield. I still remember my first walk across the campus on that beautiful June afternoon. What a great arboretum! I thought to myself, but where are the school buildings?
We stayed in Gonzaga Hall with a group of Jesuits – Bellarmine Hall was far too small to hold the 70 or so members of the Jesuit community. We had a wonderful time, visiting NY City to see The Man from La Mancha and dining at the Three Bears Restaurant in Westport. At the end of that wonderful week, I set out for The Cranwell School in Lenox, Massachusetts where I would teach Math and live in a residence hall for the next three years.
In 1969, I moved to Providence, Rhode Island to study Math for a Master’s Degree at Brown University. It was then off to Rome for three years of Theology at the Gregorian University. And finally back to Cranwell to teach Math and Theology. When Cranwell closed in 1975, I decided to get another Master’s Degree at the Teacher’s College in New York City.
Degree in hand, I was assigned at the request of the principal, Fr. Jim Bowler, S.J., to teach Math at Fairfield Prep. I also asked the president, Fr. Fitzgerald, S.J. if I could live in a prefect’s room on Campion III. I remember Fr. Fitzgerald asking me if I would mind living on a women’s corridor. “No” I quickly responded with great enthusiasm. This would be one of the best years of my life.
The rest is history. In 1982 I left Fairfield to complete Tertianship in the Philippines. When I returned I was sent to BC High. At the end of the second year there and at the request of Fr. Kelley, S.J., I was asked to return to Fairfield Prep as the headmaster. After four years, he said that it was my time to go, and so I headed off to BC for a five year stretch in the Admission Office which I loved.
Then came another call from Fr. Kelley asking me to return to Fairfield as his executive assistant and here I am to this day. Now, after a number of falls and some heart work, I am going back to Campion Center (aka Weston College) where I started out some forty + years ago.
I leave Fairfield University and Fairfield Prep with a tremendous bundle of happy memories. May God continue to bless Fairfield University and Fairfield Prep. You will all be in my prayers. I hope to see you again soon.
