For me, as Principal of this incredible school, the spirit of Christmas began in October in the wake of the storm we all came to know as Sandy. I was so edified by the outpouring of love by the Saint Anthony’s Community as we once again united to support the material and spiritual needs of the families who were devastated by the effects of the storm. Testimony to the extraordinary Franciscan spirit was evident from as far away as Notre Dame High School in Cape Girardeau, Missouri where, under the leadership of Brother David Migliorino, O.S.F, the students, faculty and staff were incredibly generous in their support of our families. I am very optimistic about this coming year and what lies ahead for our students and our wonderful school. Part of my enthusiasm centers on the extraordinary nature and continued development of our Science Research Program, FRIARQUEST. One of the goals of this four- year program is to offer seniors an opportunity to conduct research either in a professional laboratory or in our school. This year, sixteen seniors have entered their work into either the Siemens Competition in Math, Science, and Technology or the Intel Science Talent Search. The benchmark for Saint Anthony’s has always been and will always be academics and providing our students with the best college preparatory school experience possible. To this end, I am pleased to share with you that Saint Anthony’s now offers seventeen AP Courses as well as twenty-one College Credit Courses within six different departments. In closing, as we ready ourselves for the Lenten Season, I am reminded of the words of our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVl, who said, “May Lent be for each Christian a renewed experience of God’s love given to us in Christ, a love that each day we, in turn, must ’re-give’ to our neighbor, especially to the one who suffers most and is in need.“ Sincerely yours in Christ, Brother Gary Cregan, O.S.F. A Message A Message from the Director from the Alumni of Development Director Dear Friar Faithful, Dear Friars, I hope that you enjoy this issue of Friar Focus. As you read As the end of the school year quickly approaches, the Friar Spirit is alive through this issue, I’m confident that you will conclude and well here on campus and among our Alumnae. For the current Saint Anthony’s High School Franciscan Brothers that Saint Anthony’s is alive with excitement and promise. Friars, it is a time of excitement and change: college decisions, proms, Our students’ accomplishments in all aspects of student the Spring concerts and athletic events, Senior BBQ and Graduation. For life are extraordinary, especially their continued record of many of our Alumnae, it is a time of reflection and reconnection. Each academic achievement. year we welcome more and more Friars back home. Attendance at our Alumni events has been rapidly increasing and there is nothing that Legacy Endowment Fund As Director of Development, I hope that the material found could make us happier than to see new faces come back to their Alma within this issue brings forward a sense of pride and ownership Seventy-nine years ago the Franciscan One of the many attributes of Saint Mater, Saint Anthony’s. It is particularly heartwarming when we see our from our alumni and continued parental satisfaction with Brothers brought with them an 800 year- Anthony’s today is its ability to attract Alumnae return to register their own children. There is such a sense of Saint Anthony’s. I especially ask you to carefully read the old Franciscan tradition of excellence in and serve a highly diverse student tradition and pride when a parent walks through the doors of the various student perspectives, for it is they who best exemplify education. They founded Saint Anthony’s body. The 2,500 students currently in breezeway and enrolls a second (and, now, sometimes third) generation and articulate the true Saint Anthony’s experience.
