Congratulations Priory!
We have almost achieved our FIRST BIG GOAL—ten new or remodeled on-site residences for faculty and staff. It is wonderful to see this tangible success so early in our campaign effort.
With this housing fund, we have ALREADY COMPLETED:
• RENOVATION of the home now occupied by Chris and Shawna Trujillo and their two children, Parker, six months, and Taylor, two. Chris is a member of the Residential Life staff and Shawna is Director of the Middle School.
• A three-bedroom APARTMENT attached to each of the two dorms. Dean of Students Erik Carlson lives in the Benedict House (Junior Dorm) apartment with his wife, Lisa, and baby Lucy. Residential Life staff members Julie Basta, Matt Lai and Brian Miehm share the Anselm House (Senior Dorm) apartment. You can read about other changes in the Residential Life program on page 10.
We will SOON BREAK GROUND on:
• The MAAS FAMILY COMMONS, a seven-residence complex located at the top of the hill behind the Assembly Hall. The Commons is named to honor Al and Suzanne Maas’ tenacity and dedication to completion of this project.
Within the Commons, individual homes can be named by donors. Anyone wishing to discuss this form of recognition is invited to contact Doug Ayer at
650-851-6101.
This achievement will BENEFIT EVERY STUDENT—in the quality of the staff we can attract and retain, and the benefits of having an on-campus community that sustains our core values. As the campaign slogan says, it’s "for now and our next 50 years."

This site for the Maas Family Commons looks much like the site that inspired the founding monks’ vision nearly fifty years ago (inset photo). Trustees Al Ebneter and Art Schultz,
who have been the leading force for on-campus housing, hope that the seven new residences will be ready by Christmas 2002.
