SFA grandparent, Elaine John, shares her dream for all St. Francis students. “I hope that the children here at St. Francis grow up to be confident learners ever-growing in their faith. So, when they’re out there in the big world they can make those big decisions with what we know are our values through our faith.”

SFA alumnus and seminarian, Dcn. Michael Fitzpatrick, emphasizes that faith is first taught in the family and then reinforced and supported at the school. He shares his thoughts on parents and family members as role models and how the daily focus on prayer, peace, and perseverance during his time at St. Francis had a long term impact on him. “The fact that the motto of the school is Prayer, Peace, and Perseverance, and talking about prayer, talking about virtues having that taught to us students every day, day in and day out...that’s the kind of stuff that stays with you.”
