Become a Stallion Mentor 

Alumni have a unique opportunity to give back to the St. Francis DeSales community, specifically to our junior and senior students, through the SFD Career Awareness/Mentorship program. 

Being professional in your career, we are asking you to share your skills, profession, and time with our students. You may want to be a guest speaker sharing resume tips, or if your career involves interviewing, you could explain strategies during the interviewing process. Your profession may lend itself to having a student shadow you throughout the year. The opportunities are endless. Perhaps you have another idea that would help our students on their journey in developing and using God's gifts to the best of their ability.

Please contact SFD Guidance Counselor  Mr. Dan Rotella at drotella@cdeducation.org or 614-267-7808, ext 232 if you are interested in this opportunity or would like more information.  Thank you in advance for your time and support.
Daily Reflection 

Lord, our Savior, In joy-filled anticipation, I come to You in prayer, filled with renewed hope in the love You came to share. On this Advent journey, remembering Your birth, may I find through faith in You the gift of peace on Earth. Amen.
