n October of 1816, St. Marcellin Champagnat was called to the bedside of Jean Baptiste Mon- Itagne, a teenager about to die. The boy never attended school and had no knowledge of God. The circumstances of his short life inspired Cham- pagnat to found the Marist Brothers of the Schools for the Christian education of youth. Today, Central Catholic is one of hundreds of schools and universities throughout the world conducted by the Marist Brothers and inspired by the vision and mission of St. Champagnat. In this spirit, Central Catholic named its inno- vative outreach and tuition assistance program for this seminal moment in the life of St. Cham- pagnat and the founding of the Marist Brothers. The Montagne Project helps enroll and maintain promising students from low-income families in the inner city by providing them with up to 90% ﬁ nancial assistance, as well as continuing academic and social support. Approximately 85 students are enrolled through this program. The Montagne Project is instituted in partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence; Adelanté, an after-school, educational youth program; and Pray for us… Bellesini Academy, a private, tuition-free middle The students of Central Catholic begin and end each school for economically disadvantaged boys living school day with the following litany during announce- in Lawrence.

The story of Bro. Florentius is the story of the founding of Central Catholic High School. Like St. Champagnat, Bro. Florentius saw a pressing need and envisioned a way to meet that need—Central Catholic High School.

The Story of Bro. Florentius ro. Florentius was born in Quebec and moved to Lawrence with his family at a young age, attending St. Anne’s Grammar School, which Bwas under the direction of the Marist Brothers. He embraced the ideals and mission of the Marist Brothers, entering the Juniorate (a preparatory high school for aspiring Brothers), and then the Novitiate. After taking his ﬁ nal vows in August 1910, he embarked on an inspiring career as an educator and Marist Brother. In 1926, he was assigned to be the founding Principal and director of Mount St. Michael Academy in New York. After helping to establish the Academy and completing an arduous six year tenure, he returned to his native Lawrence. His return was meant to be a respite to help him regain his health while serving as Principal of the well established St. Anne’s Grammar School, his alma mater, in the heart of the city. But Bro. Flo- rentius had other plans—Central Catholic High School. At the time, Lawrence had four Catholic girls’ high schools (St. Anne’s, St. Mary’s, St. Patrick’s, and Sacred Heart), but no option for young men.

He stood in the Brother took a religious midst of the Great Depression and had no furniture, no textbooks, no name upon taking his vows. equipment, and no building. What he did have was a heart full of faith, And so, in 1910, Joseph courage, and love. Ludger Poisson became Bro. Florentius relied heavily on these attributes, as well as his considerable Bro. Florentius. charm and political savvy, to launch Central Catholic High School. He cajoled, borrowed, leased, and prayed, placing his new school under the protection of St. Theresa, the Little Flower, the patron saint of children.
