John Mastrantoni '76 Honorary Chair

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are very excited about the success of the new Capital Campaign and about securing the future of St. Francis High School.

 

Tom Bestpitch '96 Co-chair

Now more than ever, Western New York and society need St. Francis High School. When I was a student, it provided me with the structure, discipline, and guidance I needed to prepare me for success in college, business, and in life. The foundation of my personal and professional life continues to be the qualities that were reinforced daily at St. Francis. That being said, I understand the economics of private education and have supported the school as generously as possible for a long time. I believe it’s our collective responsibility as alums to express gratitude for the generosity of those who came before us and the sacrifices our parents made, by paying it forward to current and future St. Francis men. If every alumnus simply does what they can, their support, along with that of parents, alumni parents, and other friends of the school, will ensure St. Francis High School will thrive for the next 100 years!

St. Francis is an extension of my family and a place I call home. It has played a significant role in our family for three generations.  The faculty, staff, and friends I've made through the school have greatly impacted my life. Amy and I feel blessed to support the school as it celebrates 100 years of changing lives.

St. Francis helped shape me at such a critical time in my life. The faculty, staff, and friends I've made through the school have had a significant impact on me and my entire family. I am happy to support it, to ensure future generations can benefit from everything it has to offer.

It is my strong conviction that St. Francis must continue as a vibrant and continued presence in Western New York. The education and experience are critical because it provides a holistic education that combines academics with faith-based values like compassion, service, and reverence for creation. This approach will develop students' moral compass, promote intellectual and spiritual growth, and prepare them for both college and life by fostering wisdom, personal responsibility, and a commitment to helping others. And this four-year journey of growing and sharing creates a lifelong network of deep friendship.  Pax et Bonum.
