Leaving a Legacy: Al Zappelli
“I won’t say goodbye, but rather Bye for Now, and Thanks for the Memories,” Al Zappelli wrote to faculty and staff in the spring of 2019 after graduation while looking ahead to his retirement. Arriving at the Priory in the fall of 1990, Al served as Director of Admissions for 26 years, welcoming roughly 75% of Priory’s entire alumni body to the school. Working closely with Head of School Tim Molak, Al hosted admissions breakfasts, open houses, and frequently traveled
to feeder schools to spread the word about a Priory education. When he transitioned to Senior Director for Strategic Initiatives in 2016, Al focused on the Benedictine history and Catholic identity of the school, spearheaded the 60th anniversary celebration, and worked with the Development Office in overseeing planned giving.
In a letter to the Priory community in 2019 announcing the Al Zappelli Endowed
Scholarship Fund, Tim Molak writes, “Without Al’s deep commitment to the Catholic faith and Benedictine mission of our school, Priory would not have survived its lean years and developed into the flourishing educational and spiritual home the current generation enjoys.” As Al transitions into retirement, we are thankful for his leadership and contributions to the Priory.
