We are proud and pleased to be Celebrating Our Donors who are truly making a difference in the lives of every Padua student with this special publication dedicated to thanking and recognizing our many benefactors! In this issue, you will read about donors who are changing lives through their support of Padua Franciscan, as well as the students who are impacted by their giving. The generosity of the donors listed in these pages is testament to their belief in the value of a Padua Franciscan education.
The Franciscan Fund, the backbone of financial support to the school, continues to grow, as does the Bruin Benefit Celebrazione. The PaduaPlus+ Campaign is reaching towards the final milestone of $5.5 million as we complete the next phase of renova- tions to the school. Gifts and bequests to the Endowment Trust are also on the rise, securing the future financial stability of Padua.
We have received many blessings from the Lord and we are thankful for all God’s gifts. Let’s also remember to thank those who touch our lives so that we can grow in Holiness and Learning, the ultimate goal of all of our efforts.
Peace and all that is good!
Fr. Allan DaCorte, ofm President
