Page 3 - Padua Bruin Benefit 2021 Program

Welcome
Dear Friends of Padua Franciscan High School,
It is an exciting time to be a part of the Padua community as we continue to respond to the expanding needs of our students in an ever-changing world.
This year has certainly brought about unique experiences academically, physically and emotionally for our community. Through it all they have shown resilience, perseverance and adaptability.
We recognize and applaud our young men and women and our faculty and staff for facing the uncertainties of this year with their belief and hope for a better tomorrow.
Tonight, we also recognize the incredible ministry of two men who have transformed our school in holiness and learning. The enthusiastic voices of Fr. Allan DaCorte, ofm and Br. Tom Carroll, ofm have become an integral part of the tradition and spirit of this school. In celebration of Padua and the extraordinary ministry of these two men, all our efforts tonight will go to both current financial aid needs and the creation of the Forever Friar Scholarship to keep their legacy alive. Their gift to our school will always be remembered and never forgotten.
As a Padua family, it is our focus to continue to strive for excellence in holiness and learning each and every day. It is also our focus to make certain our students are happy, healthy, holy and highly prepared. Your support ensures that we maintain excellent educational programs and keep tuition affordable for all of our families.
Thank you for your generous contributions to the Bruin Benefit. Bid high and often for the good of this school we love.
Enjoy this evening, and as always, GO BRUINS! Peace and All Good,
David G. Stec ’86
