President's Letter

“While we have time, let us do good.”
As we approach our hundredth anniversary, we believe there is an opportunity to assume an even greater, transformational role in the life of St. Francis High School.

For nearly 100 years, St. Francis High School has inspired young men to be leaders in their communities who are known by their faith, integrity, and service to others. Our graduates are not only successful in college and the working world but are also devoted sons, husbands, and fathers. The education they receive here, deeply rooted in our core principles of humility, respect, excellence, and brotherhood for all, provides them with a strong foundation for fulfilling and meaningful lives.
As we get ready to commemorate a century of Franciscan education in Western New York and celebrate all we have accomplished, we also look forward to the next 100 years at St. Francis High School with enthusiasm, purpose and vision. We believe that now is the time to move forward with a courageous transformational plan that will ensure future generations of young men have access to a top-notch, life-changing experience that prepares them to be agents of change in the world.
With the launch of our campaign, we invite you to join us in this exciting new chapter for St. Francis High School. Our case for support outlines the vision, priorities, and impact we will achieve together. As demonstrated throughout our proud history, every accomplishment has been made possible through the unified commitment of our St. Francis community.
Now, as we move forward, we ask for your partnership, your prayers, and your support. Together, just as our patron saint implored, let us do good.
Peace and good,
Fr. Matthew J. Foley, OFM Conv.
President
St. Francis High School
