Fr. Robenson Siquitte S.J.

I’m Robenson Siquitte, a Jesuit priest. I was born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, within a Christian family. In August 2010, I joined the Society of Jesus and was sent to Colombia to study philosophy after completing my novitiate. During my regency in Ouanaminthe, located in the

northeast of Haiti, my primary work was promoting the rights of Haitian and Dominican migrants who are stateless in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

After this, I was sent to Canada, where I earned a Master of Divinity degree at Regis College at the University of Toronto. Currently, I am working towards my STL in Systematic Theology at Boston College School of Theology and Ministry.

I joined the Montserrat team because I was drawn to its foundation in Ignatian spirituality. As a Jesuit, I am thrilled to be a part of this group and to lend my support to the well-being of the students.

Montserrat Dinner Club

The Montserrat Dinner Club (MDC), is a mentoring program whose primary goal is to provide community building for Montserrat sophomore mentees with the support and guidance from Boston College faculty/staff and Seniors. Mentors, student facilitators and mentees will meet monthly over dinner discussions that are designed to integrate excellence and professional development so that students are both informed and formed by the Jesuit values of magis and cura personalis.

CampusRec

Montserrat in collaboration with CampusRec will be offering TRX Circuits and Group Swimming Lessons for Montserrat Students.

Event Lotteries

Through the continued support of the Robsham Box Office (Rtac Tickets) we have been able to support students by offering raffles for them to win tickets to attend and participate in various events held on and off campus. Some of these events included: Stokes Set 2023, Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Pops on the Heights, Whale Watching, Chinatown Food Tour, CAB Presents: Apple Fest at Wachusett Mountain! and Apple Picking.

Christian Lam

I have been doing really well here in Lisbon, Portugal. The city is beautiful, the people here are friendly and fun, and the classes so far have been great and chill. Everyone here in Lisbon from BC has also been good as well. You should visit us this semester.

Noe Martinez

My name is Noe Martinez, a Junior at Boston College studying Economics. I am originally from Los Angeles with parents from Mexico, Puebla. As a Mexican American I am really proud of my heritage and it is a huge part of my identity. My culture has taught me the importance of hard work, resilience and family. 

On campus I am a part of the Organization of Latin American Affairs where I serve as the Culture Show Director. I am also a 2023 Jamaica Magis participant and a 2022 Magis Civil Rights Participant. Although this semester I am abroad in Venice I can not wait to return back to BC in the spring.

Kenneth Beato

Hello my name is Kenneth Beato and I am currently a Junior in the Carroll School Of Management, studying Business Entrepreneurship and Finance. I am currently studying abroad in New Cairo, Egypt at the American University of Cairo. This experience has been a once in a life time experience for me and I could not be more grateful to have chosen a place like Egypt. I’ve gotten to experience and do things that I don’t think I would ever have gotten to do back home, like playing and joining a rugby team(yes I guess you can do that abroad). Whether it’s history, architecture, language, culture or even the food, Egypt has taught me a lot about myself and a lot about the world that I don’t get to see.
