CAMPAIGN CHRONICLES CELEBRATING THE PAST - SECURING THE FUTURE!
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT As we enter the quiet hope of Advent, our Celebrating the Past, Securing the Future campaign invites us to pause and recognize the ways God continues to work in and through our St. Francis family. This season encourages gratitude and watchfulness, and both are reflected in the generosity that shapes our young men's lives each day. Our commitment to forming Franciscan-hearted young men remains central to our mission, guiding us as we honor our past and build a future filled with promise. We are especially grateful for the support of Sue & Paul and Marco & Kari, whose commitment to the campaign strengthens our work and encourages others to partner with us. Their faith in our students and our mission is felt in every corner of the school. I am excited about our young men sharing their talent at our Fine Arts Christmas Concert after a semester breaking in the newly renovated choir and band rooms. Thanks to the kindness of so many in our community, we have now reached $15.9 million toward our campaign goal. In the coming weeks, we look forward to completing the new fitness center, an essential investment in the well-being of all of our students. Your continued support makes these milestones possible, and we are deeply grateful for all you do to help our young men grow into men of service, leadership, and joy.
-Fr. Matthew Foley, OFM Conv.
