President’s Welcome Letter: 2025–2026 School Year
Dear Brothers in Service,
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at St. Anthony’s! Whether you’re a returning member or joining us for the first time, we’re thrilled to have you as part of the Fathers’ Guild—a community rooted in faith, fellowship, and service.
The Fathers’ Guild is more than a volunteer organization. We are role models, mentors, and stewards of the Franciscan spirit. Through our presence at football games, school Masses, concerts, and countless other events, we show our children what it means to lead with humility, generosity, and love. Our actions—big and small—help shape the culture of St. Anthony’s and leave a lasting impression on the young men and women we support.
This year, we invite you to dive deeper into our mission. Whether you’re directing parking, helping usher at Mass, or lending a hand behind the scenes, your time and energy matter. Together, we build a legacy of service that echoes far beyond the school walls.
Let’s make this year one of connection, purpose, and fun. We look forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with you as we continue to inspire our children and live out the values of St. Francis.
With gratitude and anticipation,
John Favilla
President, St. Anthony’s Fathers’ Guild
