My reasons for supporting VASJ, my high school alma mater, are basically threefold. I am extremely grateful for the pivotal and positive influence the VASJ family and community had on my personal development and growth. My experience there was transformative academically, athletically and socially. And spiritual seeds were sown there that germinated later in my life. The memories have faded a bit, but all are fond ones. I appreciate the commitment made to the academic, athletic, social and spiritual development of the student body. And finally, as a follower of Jesus Christ, the Greatest Giver of all time, I am compelled to be a giver of what God has entrusted to me in the areas of time, talent and treasure. Proud to Be A Viking.

Mr. Mark T. Angelotti (SJ ’71) Anonymous Mr. Peter G. Apicella (SJ ’70) Mr. Thomas Banc (VASJ ’97) The idea of giving back to others for the gifts Alan and Marilyn Belevice (VA ’68) we’ve been given is rooted deep in our faith. Mr. Thomas M. Bodle (SJ ’70) It’s how we show we’re thankful to God for everything we have and everything Dwight and Susan Bowden (Getler VA ’66) we’ve accomplished. “I was hungry and you fed me, I was naked and you clothed Mr. Eugene Boyer me” – these ideals are rooted in our Catholic education and they’ve carried me Mr. Brian T. Brown (SJ ’90) through my business and professional life. One of the great lessons I learned California Institute of Technology at St. Joe’s was that every single interaction we have with others is important, Mr. Mark A. Castro (SJ ’69) regardless of their position or status. The idea of teamwork – working with others Mr. William J. Centa (SJ ’70) to accomplish objectives – was instilled in us as students. And working together for Ms. Laurie Chatham the greater good is just as important now. Dr. Cindy Connell

As a business professor, I take joy in guiding and leading young adults in their educational development, to help them become skilled professionals, ethical leaders and engaged citizens. In each of my classes, I can tell which of my students had a quality high school education – during which they developed great critical thinking skills, acquired extensive quantitative abilities, and enhanced their oral and written communication skills – from those who did not have such a high school background. I learned immensely during my years as a Villa Angela student; and, as such, I support the efforts of the VASJ faculty and staff to continue the good work of preparing the next generation of students for lifelong learning and success.

The environment at both VA and St. Joe’s was like an extended family. There was a degree of caring and collegiality at the two schools that you generally don’t get in public schools. And of course there was the strong academic program that prepared you for any professional field. Along with the Catholic fundamentals we were taught, we had the whole package. There was an insistence at St. Joe’s and VA that we live out our Catholic values and those values had a profound effect on our personal and professional lives. That’s why we provided a Catholic education for our three children and that’s why we believe it is only right that we give back to continue the tradition for today’s students at VASJ.
