Br. Jerry Johnson, OFM, Capuchin

"That as students become more and more aware of the needs of their local and global community, they will continue to draw upon the resources of the Catholic faith, their cultural heritage, Franciscan values, and their own deep connection with God to be a source of peace, service, justice and gentleness. That St. Lawrence will continue to be a school that offers the choice of an alternative world view for young men—a world view that promotes cooperation more than competition, sister-brotherhood more than power, respect more than arrogance, and justice more than wealth. That as they mature, these students will become Good News for us all, especially for the poor and the suffering among us. "
