Tony Quattrochi Named New Director of Alumni Relations
|
|
Dear Alumni,
With an appreciative nod to my predecessor, Gene, I welcome the opportunity to continue serving the graduates of St. Joseph High School as your new Director of Alumni Relations. It is my hope that through many activities and programs that we will build together, you will choose to be involved in the life of your alma mater and its young student Chargers. Whether that level of engagement is as a volunteer, a student mentor, an employer for our students, and/or a financial supporter, please know there is no better time to lend your talents and special gifts in support of our mission. We need you!
I am very proud that of my 41 years in education, 38 have been in Westchester serving the Chargers. And, as St Joe's enters its 60th year of operation, I begin my 50th year of association with the Christian Brothers. My journey began at DeLaSalle Institute, followed by undergraduate work at Lewis University, then three years at St. Patrick High School, and with the passing of Brother George Wagner, I was hired by Brother Leo Jones to teach mathematics at St. Joe's in December of 1981. That journey brings me to you today.
Change always offers the opportunity for growth if we look for it. My role is to engage with you to advance the mission of St. Joseph High School in meaningful ways that will continue providing the Charger experience that has touched and transformed so many lives - yours included. How many times we have heard alumni and students alike, say "I wouldn't be where I am without St. Joe's"!
Know that you are always welcome back home at St. Joe's. We want to hear your story. Your reflections. Your experiences. Any suggestions or concerns you may have. We're listening. I'm just an email, phone call, or even better...a visit away.
See you soon!
Tony

Sanctuary Lamp Prayer Program
|
St. Joseph High School invites you to participate in our Sanctuary Lamp Prayer Program for the 2019 – 2020 school year as we celebrate our 60th year serving young people.
Candles are often used to celebrate or commemorate a significant experience. Think of birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and funerals. One of the Church’s earliest traditions is to use candles as part of offering our prayers to God.
By participating in our Sanctuary Lamp Prayer Program, prayers will be said daily by our Campus Minister, Joe Fedinec and his students as they remember your intentions.
This program also serves as a fundraiser to allow more students to participate in Kairos, an optional retreat for our seniors, and one whose power has affected the lives of many of its participants.
