A Message from
the Principal
Dear Alumni, Parents, Grandparents, and Friends,
Our Holy Father Pope Francis recently encouraged us to dare to dream and said,
“I really like the expression of the American author who says that God gave us two
eyes, one made of flesh and the other of glass. With the eye of flesh we see what we
look like, with the glass eye we see what we dream. What if we teach our children to
see life with these two eyes?”
I think Pope Francis’ words are particularly appropriate for all of us here at Saint
Anthony’s as we begin this new 2014 -2015 academic year. Each year, our students,
parents, faculty, and staff face the challenges and rigors of a Saint Anthony’s
education that is focused on a comprehensive academic experience in a nurturing and
compassionate environment. Earlier this month, Saint Anthony’s welcomed 610 new
students—the Class of 2018. Pope Francis challenges all of us when he says,“Am I tied
to a herd, blindly doing what everyone does, seeking only self-satisfaction, focused on
myself, or do I look above to fly high? Don’t be scared; dare to have fabulous plans.
I encourage you not to be afraid to dream, to have great ideals, to be builders of hope.”
This past June, Saint Anthony’s began construction on the new Science Center being
built on the third floor. I am pleased to report that development efforts continue to
raise the necessary funds for this $9.3 million initiative. To date, $1.5 million (45%)
has been raised toward our Phase One Goal of $3.3 million.
You all will be pleased to know that return on investment of a Saint Anthony’s
education continues to rise as 472 of the 674 members of the Class of 2014 received
scholarships totaling $78,334,266 and 135 additional students received non-need
grants totaling $2,582,659 from our nation’s leading colleges and universities.
So as we begin this new school year, I encourage all of you to continue on your journey
to seek Truth and sincerely hope that we all dare to dream.
May God Bless You!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
FRIAR FOCUS

A Message from the
Dear Friar Faithful,
Saint Anthony’s High School Franciscan Brothers
Legacy Endowment Fund
Over eighty years ago the Franciscan
Brothers brought with them an 800 yearold Franciscan tradition of excellence in
education. They founded Saint Anthony’s
High School on the Franciscan principle,
“Capture the heart and the mind will
follow”, and as a result, Saint Anthony’s
has been a leader among college
preparatory schools in the United
States. The Saint Anthony’s experience,
“Classmates for four years – Friars Forever”,
holds a special place in the hearts and
minds of more than 18,000 graduates.
The long-term goal of the “Legacy
Endowment Fund” is to provide for
the continued fiscal stability of Saint
Anthony’s High School.
These men and women, inspired by
the vision and nurturing of the Franciscan
Brothers and a dedicated and supportive
corps of religious and lay faculty, have
ventured on to contribute significantly
to our nation through their leadership
positions in government, religion,
business, industry, science, the arts,
education, journalism, communications,
athletics and the armed forces.
To make a gift by check or credit card or
for all other inquiries regarding the variety
of other ways you can make a gift to the
“Legacy Endowment Fund” please call
Don Corrao, Director of Development
at 631-271-2020 ext. 284 or e-mail
him at dcorrao@stanthonyshs.org.
Please consider making your gift today.
You can simply write a check, make a
gift of appreciated securities, include
Saint Anthony’s High School in your will,
establish a Charitable Gift Annuity or a
Charitable Remainder Trust or name Saint
Anthony’s as the owner and/or beneficiary
of an existing life insurance policy or as
the beneficiary of a retirement account.
As Director of Development for Saint Anthony’s High School,
I am responsible and accountable for Saint Anthony’s fund
raising programs and events. It is very important to me to hear
from our constituencies - alumni, parents, grandparents, and
friends regarding your thoughts on our development efforts
to ensure that we are clicking on all cylinders to meet the
challenges we have before us.
Please know that I take my responsibilities of communicating
and sharing all that we are doing to fulfill our mission as a Roman
Catholic and Franciscan college preparatory school very seriously.
Accordingly, I fervently hope that you enjoy receiving your copy
of Friar Focus – the Development and Alumni Magazine.
The immediate challenges of growing the Annual Fund and
continuing to complete our Facilities Master Plan through
our capital campaign efforts are paramount to the continued
success and viability of Saint Anthony’s High School. In order
to accomplish our goals and objectives, there must be a steady
growth in the percentage of participation of our alumni and
parents. Simply put, the more people help Saint Anthony’s,
the stronger and better we will become. Our organizational
maturity and growth in terms of innovative programs,
partnerships and unique opportunities for our students is
dependent on and worthy of everyone’s philanthropic support.
With much gratitude and appreciation,
Don Corrao
(631) 271-2020 ext. 284
dcorrao@stanthonyshs.org
Values and ideals are embodied in people
and are not transmitted through words,
documents, bricks or mortar but through
lives. Saint Anthony’s has been blessed
with people whose contributions to
the school and its students have been
immeasurable. They continue to leave
their indelible marks and enrich every
student who attends Saint Anthony’s.

the combined direction of Dr. Dennis

Special thanks to Mr. James Tucker,
assistant director and accompanist,
Ms. Anne Marie Fabricatore,
choreographer and costumes, and
Mr. Chris Farrell, assistant director
for all of the efforts and special
touches with the programme.

On Sunday May 4th, about 200 children
with special needs along with their families
attended the Friars Golden Kids Carnival
at Saint Anthony’s High School. Over 300
current Saint Anthony’s students served
as buddies and activity leaders for these
children. Faculty and staff members, as
well as the Mothers’ and Fathers’ Guilds,
helped to organize and run the event.
The children enjoyed jumping in the
bounce house, going down the inflatable
slide, and running through the obstacle
course. They also loved dancing to the
music, playing sports, blowing bubbles,
and joining in carnival games, coloring,
and face painting. Lunch was also served
later in the day in the cafeteria. Saint
Anthony’s looks forward to hosting its
next Carnival on Sunday May 3, 2015
so please save the date!
Conner
Chapman ’15
Current senior Conner Chapman was the
co-author last year of the children’s storybook
Seven Days With Carole
Carole. It tells the story of
a ten-year-old Carole Robertson before she
became a young icon in the Civil Rights
Movement. The purpose of the book is to
assist in beginning the discussion about her
legacy and why she became an important
part of Civil Rights history at a young age.
Conner worked on the book with other
members of the Suffolk County Chapter
of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. where he
serves as Vice-President of the Teen Group.
At Saint Anthony’s he is a member of the
National Honor Society as well as the
Football team. Congratulations to Conner
on this accomplishment!
To the “Retirement Class of 2014” we wish all of you the
enjoyment of a healthy and happy new journey. It is with a
deep sense of gratitude and appreciation that we recognize
the fruits of your labor here at Saint Anthony’s. It is often said
that working at Saint Anthony’s is more one’s vocation than
occupation and this year’s retirees are testimony of that.
At Christmas,
Connor Levchuck ‘16
became a Roman
Catholic and Karen
Henning ‘10 a
recent convert to
Catholicism was
his sponsor.
Retirement may be an ending, a closing, but it is also an
opportunity for a new beginning, a new chapter, a new song, a
new dance, a new perspective, a new dream. Best wishes to all!

This year the Saint Anthony’s High School
Theatre Company performed Anything
Goes, a Broadway classic with
music by Cole Porter. In one of the
finest productions Saint Anthony’s
has seen on its stage, students
wowed audiences with three
outstanding nights of song,
dance and comedy.
A timeless show
that has made
several runs on
Broadway,
Anything
Goes
brings
together
a lively cast
of characters
whose stories are
all intertwined. With a list of show-stopping
numbers like “Blow, Gabriel Blow” and
“Anything Goes”, the show kept audiences
thoroughly entertained from curtain to
curtain. Aboard the cruise liner, The S.S.
American, all of the intertwined story lines
mix together and produce a wild, comedic
and heart-warming set of events.
The cast was comprised of twenty-six
students. It featured all grade levels and
showed off the incredible depth of talent that
exists in our school’s theatre program. With
many featured roles and a large and
important ensemble, the show provided
a platform for many students to exhibit
their talents. The leading role of Reno
Sweeney was played masterfully by Lauren
Kneessy ‘14. She showed off a vast array
of skills in three perfect performances.
Phillip Losquadro ’14 exhibited incredible
vocal and dancing skills as Billy Crocker. Katie
Fletcher ‘14 was both hilarious and pitch
perfect as Mrs. Evangeline Harcourt. Frank
Murdocco ’14 was excellent in his portrayal
of Eli Whitney. Christian Arma ’15 had
audiences rolling in the aisles with his
incredible performance as Moonface Martin.
Arianna Paz ‘15 stunned audiences with her
portrayal of Hope Harcourt. She also served
as a dance captain and helped choreograph
some of the impressive tap numbers. Ian
Greiner ‘15 was hilarious and showed off a
wonderful English accent as Lord Evelyn
Oakley. Matt Tursi ’15 exhibited a variety of
skills as he not only played the role of Purser
but also performed as a pit orchestra member
during the show. Jake Kaplan ‘15 kept the
show together in his role as the Captain. The
leading roles were rounded out by Natalie
Fulgieri ’17 who showed off incredible skills

and comedic timing as Erma. Samantha
Fitzgerald ‘16 and Lindsay Palmeri ‘16 were
hilarious as Luke and John, two Chinese
converts who always wound up in trouble.
Emily Shea ‘14, Gillian Pelkonen ’15, Sara
Moreno ’17 and Samantha Sommer ‘17
wowed audiences with incredible dancing
in their roles as The Angels. Completing the
cast and serving in a variety of roles that
featured great vocals, incredible dancing
and hilarity were Nick Rudzewick ‘14, Will
Barter ‘14, Eric Linero ‘14, Eric Becker ’15,
Elizabeth Rains ‘15, Katelyn Piotowicz ’16,
Jessica Muzii ‘17, Liana Driscoll ‘17, Marissa
Chisolm ‘17 and Sydney Koehler ‘17.
In addition to all of the talented students in
the cast, a full fourteen-student pit orchestra
performed all of the classic songs. Each
night the wonderful live music was played
masterfully and brought the show to life.
Adding to the great success of this
production was a talented and dedicated
stage crew led by their two chiefs, Dorothy
McGee ‘14 and Brandon Gordon ‘14.
Throughout the show, many complicated
scene changes were completed quickly and
with incredible attention to detail. Lighting
master Dan Gude ‘16 and sound masters
Matt Trotta ‘16 and Madeline Mirenda ‘15
designed an impressive technical show to
compliment a stunning set built by the rest
of the crew. Dorothy McGee ‘14 led a large
group of painters in putting finishing touches
on the set and putting together beautiful
advertisements that brought in large crowds
for all three performances. The impressive
set for this show took many weeks to put
together and was a true testament to the
dedication of the stage crew.
In addition to the students in the cast, pit
and crew, Joseph Hegyes ‘14 served as the
assistant director and producer. He worked
closely with the cast and production staff
to ensure the show was a success. His hard
work and dedication was a big reason the
show was so great. His efforts will be
greatly missed.
With the Spring Musical being the last
show of the year, it was very difficult to say
goodbye to all of the seniors. Each of them
was a valued member of the theatre program
and will be missed greatly. All of their hard
work, dedication and talent have helped the
program become the success that it currently
is. The Saint Anthony’s Theatre Company
should be proud of the successful year it had
and the entire school is looking forward to
another year of wonderful performances in
2014-2015. Bravo to the cast, pit and crew
for a wonderful show!

with special needs. The project was initiated by Stephen DeSimone,
the Class of 2015’s Class President. Stephen worked closely with Ray
Samson, the Director of Challenger Lacrosse, to invite special needs
campers from all over Long Island to come to Saint Anthony’s and
participate in a variety of sports including volleyball, lacrosse, soccer,
basketball and baseball. Over 100 volunteers including student-athletes,
faculty and coaches, and members of the Friar Faithful “buddied-up”
with the Challenger Campers to take part in the fun. The experience

A Message
from the
Alumni
Director
Dear Friars,
As we begin this new year at Saint Anthony’s High School, I find
myself reflecting on the past year. It has been a very busy and
productive year in the Alumni Office as we continue to work on
bringing our database up to date and planning activities that will
bring our cherished Alumni back to their Alma Mater. A number
of events were extremely successful this year – nearly 100 lacrosse
players came back for the Alumni Lacrosse Game, Breakfast with
Santa was very well attended by Alumni and their children, and
our reunions are getting bigger and better each year. It was my
sincere honor to induct Brother James McVeigh ‘64 and Mrs.
Philomena Clement (Honorary Alumni) into the Alumni Hall of
Fame back in March. These two people embody the Friar Spirit!
On a personal note, the absolute highlight of my year was attending
the Canonization of Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII in Rome.
I, like many Friars over the years, have had the privilege of Papal
Audiences on past Friar Pilgrimages to Italy. Because of those
pilgrimages and my attendance as a high school student at the
Madison Square Garden Youth Rally, I have had a devotion to
Pope John Paul II. I felt compelled to be in Rome for this historic
moment – the Canonization of two Popes. I cannot describe to you
the emotion I felt as I stood in Saint Peter’s Square and participated
in the Mass that morning. The number of people, standing since
pre-dawn, who attended the Mass, overwhelmed me. And, much
like in the past, I had a sense of renewal of my Roman Catholic faith.
It was truly a blessed moment! While in Rome, I had the pleasure of
spending some time with other Friars who were also there for the
Canonization: Deacon John Trodden ’64, Brother Geoffrey Clement
’82, Katie Sequino ’03 and Christopher Farrell ’04. It was a wonderful
experience and one I am grateful to have had.
Youngest Men’s Soccer
Head Coach in the Country
DJ Corrao begins his first season as the men’s soccer head coach at Assumption College
in the 2014 season. He was named to the position on July 7, 2014.
Corrao came to Assumption from Molloy College (N.Y.), where he served as an assistant
coach for the Lions since the 2012 season. At Molloy, he was responsible for all aspects
of recruiting, training and academic planning for the student-athletes while also playing
a key role in community relations and fundraising for the program.
In addition to his experience at Molloy, Corrao also served as the director of operations
for the men’s soccer program at Adelphi University (N.Y.) for the 2010-2011 seasons
as the Panthers advanced to the 2011 Atlantic Soccer Conference Championship Game.
He also worked as an assistant coach and camp director at Saint Anthony’s High School
in South Huntington, N.Y. and has served as the director of soccer at the Village of
Branch Soccer Club in Smithtown, N.Y. since 2012.
In addition to his coaching experience, Corrao was a member of the men’s soccer
program at Division I Fordham University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of
Arts degree in international political economy and development in 2011. At Fordham,
he was a member of the International Honor Society of Economics, Omicron Delta
Epsilon, and was a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) in
2010. He will earn his Master of Business Administration from Molloy College in the
summer of 2014.
Corrao’s appointment marks the second Saint Anthony’s alumnus to be coaching
the NE 10 Conference as he joins Chris Armas ’90, head women’s soccer coach,
Adelphi University.
Pope Francis once said, “Dear brothers and sisters, the Church
loves you! Be an active presence in the community, as living
cells, as living stones.” This is a challenge to each of us to become
involved, to serve others, to be a part of our Church. I would hope
that not only will we all strive to be “living cells” in our Church, but
also “living cells” in the Saint Anthony’s school community. It is
vitally important to our current and future Friars that our school’s
community and its history be sustained.
I look forward to seeing each of you at sporting events, Alumni
activities, or religious observances here at school over the next
year. We, as a school, are only as great as the active members
of our community.
Friars Forever,

When Danielle Ryan Davi was a student at Saint Anthony’s she spent many days and
nights here at school. She was the Treasurer of the National Honor Society, a member
of Tau Fraternity and writer for the Friar Scoreboard. Her leadership abilities were
demonstrated as the captain of both the Girls’ Varsity Soccer Team and the Winter
Track Team. Danielle made the most of her time here and it certainly had its impact.

Academically, Danielle always had a full load with many honors and AP classes. One
of the challenges Danielle faced as a student here was balancing her very full academic
schedule and her full athletic schedules. At first, this was a struggle for her but in time
it became second nature. Her experience here at Saint Anthony’s prepared her for
Division 1 Athletics and Ivy League academic rigor.
Saint Anthony’s
Football Alumni
Danielle was very influenced by many of her teachers but most significantly by Science
teacher Bill Payoski and Global History teacher Brother Gary Cregan. Mr. Payoski
brought Biology and Marine Biology to life for his students. Danielle loved that he
“was witty and sarcastic and ‘owned’ his nerdiness as a badge of honor.” She enjoyed
the hands–on demos and dissections and Mr. P’s enthusiasm for his subject. Brother
Gary was a trusted advisor and mentor to Danielle and many of her classmates.
Danielle explained, “Brother Gary dismantled my perception of teachers as “they”
and me and my fellow students as “us”. His friendship taught me that I had the
capacity to be treated as an adult and to have a relationship with a teacher that
went beyond academics. That served as a model on how I would choose to conduct
myself especially when I myself began teaching.”

Upon graduation in 1989, Danielle went on to study at Princeton University where
she was a History major. She continued at NYU where she received her Masters of
Arts in United States 20th Century Military History. After a short stint as an assistant
buyer in advertising, Danielle found her way to Saint John’s Prep in Queens where
she taught and coached the Boys’ Soccer and Track Teams.
Being a young teacher, Danielle was often the person young girls would seek out
when they had no one else to turn to. Sadly, unwanted pregnancy was not an
uncommon occurrence. Danielle became very involved with helping not only her
students, but also many young people in the NYC area who were faced with this
problem. She became a very active Pro-Life advocate. However, her advocacy did
not include picketing outside clinics. Danielle said, “It has been my experience within
the Pro-Life aspect of the Catholic Church that for many it has become rigid belief
without compassion. I am pro-life but I am anti-judgment. This doesn’t make me
less of a Catholic. I believe that honesty and judgment without compassion is brutality.
I have experienced time and time again people with good motives behaving without
love in the name of God.”
Danielle’s work as a Pro-Life activist is centered on the young woman and families
who are seeking to adopt. It is a very simplistic approach and yet a clear option to
the rising abortion rates in our country. Danielle assists schools and churches in finding
these families in the midst of the heartbreak of infertility and encourages interaction
without money exchanging hands. Danielle states, “Love is the currency and I know
it sounds overly simplistic but it can and it does work.”
Today, most of Danielle’s time is spent raising her three very athletic children who are
7,10 and 11. She loves watching them play lacrosse, soccer, tennis, golf, wrestling and
track. She and her husband, Joe, and their three children live in Somerset County, NJ
and she wonders what her children’s commute to South Huntington might be like!
To our current Friars, Danielle advises, “Go out and DO! There are so many chances
that present themselves each and every day. That being said everyone has a different
version of accomplishment. Being the best people you can be, conquering the academic
and later the business world, teaching in Appalachia or even just down the street,
inventing the next best thing, playing the piano for the elderly—ANYTHING. JUST
DO SOMETHING!”
We are proud of Danielle and all her accomplishments! Way to go, Friar!

Fitzpatrick is very familiar to most Suffolk residents as he has been the

predecessor as Commanding Officer was Gerry Pelkofsky, Saint Anthony’s
Class of 1967). Fitzpatrick’s snow-white hair and thick white handlebar
mustache are known to many. Jack’s 39-year career with the Suffolk

As a student at Saint Anthony’s High
School, Brian Christensen was very
involved. He was a four year hockey player,
writer for the Friar Scoreboard and The
Anthonian, a member of the National
Honor Society and French Club President.
Throughout those four years Brian learned
much academically—French, History,
Mathematics, Literature, Science—but
learned most about himself and his Faith.
Brian’s freshman French teacher, Brother
Donan Conrad, had the most profound
effect on Brian throughout his high school
career. Interestingly, the two hit a little
bump in the road when Brother Donan
cut Brian from the soccer team during
the summer of his sophomore year. Brian
said, “I forgave him and he continued to
encourage my studies and my desire to
study abroad.” In his senior year Brother
Donan told Brian, “Don’t be afraid to apply
to the universities and colleges you want
to go to. Don’t make the choice for them.”
When Brian was rejected by the university
of his dreams, he told me, “Don’t take
Father Brian Christensen,’83,
Named Vice Rector of
North American College
‘No’ for an answer. Go back and tell
them you really want in.” Brian took
Brother’s advice and was finally
accepted. Brother Donan inspired Brian
through his friendship, his prayers and his
constant encouragement. Father Brian was
humbled and honored to celebrate Brother
Donan’s Mass of Christian Burial in 2006.

Force Base in Rapid City, SD. He served as
a B1-B copilot until December of 1993.
While in Rapid City, Brian got very involved
with his local parish. He sang in the choir,
taught CCD and worked with the Knights
of Columbus. He got involved with a group
of men and attended Bible Study and
prayer groups. His life of Faith continued
to grow. His decision to become a priest
was not a simple one.“After an invitation
to consider the priesthood by our Bishop
Charles Chaput (now the Archbishop
of Philadelphia), and much mental and
emotional wrestling and prayer, I came
to realize that God was calling me to
consider the priesthood. I decided that
I should give Him a chance!” said Brian.
In 1993, Father Brian began working
as a parish priest in Timber Lake,
South Dakota. He loves his assignment.
“I love being with people in all aspects
of life: family dinners, births and baptisms,
sickness and death, weddings, and
celebrations. As a parish priest, I have
a front row seat to God’s marvelous
workings of grace. It isn’t always easy
or fun, but it is meaningful and fulfilling.
It’s a true adventure each day.
As a parish priest, it seems that I am
always welcomed as part of any family.
I am never an outsider. I love being
with my parishioners and sharing the
journey of faith.”
However, Father Brian had to make
another somewhat difficult decision in
early 2014. He was very involved in three
parish missions within his diocese and he
was very content with his work. He then
received an invitation to be the Vice Rector
at the North American College in Rome.
Brian was accepted to the US Air
Force Academy where he built his selfconfidence and his faith. The various
challenges of academy life deepened
his faith and good friendships. Brian
said, “Of all the life lessons that I
learned during my four years as a cadet,
the one that continues to sustain me is:
faith and friends mean everything.”
“With a lot of prayer and spiritual direction,
I came to see where our Lord wanted me to
go. I have the strong sense that He is calling
me to something new and to a place and a
role where I will need to trust Him and rely
upon Him more than ever. As I reflect upon
it, this seems to be the way our Lord works.
He is often calling us in over our head and
asking us to trust Him. He tells us: “Put out
into the deep!”
Upon graduation, Brian went on for
his Master’s degree at the University of
Paris. In 1989, he received an MA through
Middlebury College in Vermont. Following
those two years of study, he attended Pilot
Training at Williams Air Force Base in Mesa,
Arizona. He received his wings in 1990 and
was assigned to the B1-B at Ellsworth Air
Father Brian will soon be stationed in Rome
but he will never forget his Alma Mater.
He said of SAHS,“It is a rare place where
you can find all of this and the spirituality
and community that will help you establish
a firm foundation for the future.” We wish
Father Brian well and will remember him
in our prayers.

Game
On June 8th, 2014, the Friar Hockey Team
held their Alumni Game at Superior Ice Rink
in Kings Park. Coach Marc Sambach ‘73
organized the players for this annual event.
After playing two periods, the guys came
off the ice and enjoyed dinner together.
This game is always a great opportunity

they’ve still got what it takes to be a Friar
hockey player!

Christine credits many of her teachers for her own success. She says of Mrs. Philomena
Clement, “I’ll never forget reading King Lear! She had the best accent; her voice has
always stayed in my mind. She has always held a classy air about herself. She would be
excited about books and teaching us; it was clear her career meant the world to her,
and that passion came through in her teaching.”
Christine
Carbone
Guarino ’86 Friar Tradition
Continues
Christine was sad to hear of the retirement of Mr. Vincent Winus. “When I was in Saint
Anthony’s, he was the coach of the baseball team and the Spanish teacher. He would
always watch out for whom I was dating at the time! Mr. Winus has a sense of moral
force in his character that made you feel comfortable in an almost superhero-like way.
He always demonstrated leadership while having his soft side of being a great husband
and animal lover. He was also the dean when my daughter Alexa was in school. Many
times I found myself going to Mr. Winus for advice and every time found what I needed.“
Christine had a special relationship with Science Chair Mrs. Maryann Librizzi. “Some
teachers change who you are; Mrs. Librizzi was the teacher who changed who I was.
I was so in love with the subject that the experience I had in her class was merely the
first hurdle--of many--in achieving my dream of being where I am today. When you
believe in something and want something bad enough, there will always be many
hurdles. You just have to make the jump! It’s what makes achieving your goals worth
it. That class was the first of many barriers that had to be overcome in order to achieve
my dream. Coincidentally, 15 years after her class, after receiving a Dental Hygiene &
Anesthesia degree from SUNY Stony Brook, Mrs. Librizzi’s husband surprised me sitting
in my chair needing local anesthetic! “
One teacher who remains a part of Christine’s life is Brother Gary. “Brother Gary was
always, and continues to be, a man of honor. The true greatness in him is that he not only
gives his life to God, but he gives his life in a way of service to the students. His existence
is to serve. You can always count on his word... and he always seemed to know just what
was going on, no matter the distance between generations. He can do it all. In doing
all of the positive, he prevents the harmful things. Brother Gary is rich in kindness and
patience, and he is a true lifelong friend to all Friars. To this day, even though I’m now
an adult and a parent myself, I always feel that I can still look up to him.”
Christine attended C.W. Post to study Biochemistry and later SUNY Farmingdale to study
Dental Hygiene. She has been actively practicing as a Dental Hygienist for over 20 years.
She is currently back at Farmingdale to expand her Dental Hygiene studies and to become
a licensed Prosthetist/Orthotist. She is currently receiving certification in mastectomy
fitting. Christine also created a Smoking Cessation course, which she taught in the
Continuing Education program at SUNY Farmingdale. She is also currently interning with
Suffolk Plastic Surgery alongside fellow Friar parent Dr. Kenneth Kneessy, an outstanding
plastic surgeon. Christine is eager to help women who have been affected by breast
cancer. “After knowing so many patients who have been affected by breast cancer and
purchasing a prosthetics company with my husband Vincent, I came to learn that the field
of prosthetics also included creating prosthetic breasts for women... and so my passion
has been reignited in a new direction!”
Christine credits Saint Anthony’s with much of her happiness in life. During her years as a
Friar, she learned many life lessons. “Number one: never make judgments about anything;
not about people, parenting, where we come from, or other’s choices. That’s not for us
to judge. Love people, don’t judge people. It creates an atmosphere that other people will
want to get in on. Number two: all saints were sinners who decided to get up and make
something happen. Number three: If you develop the brain, the heart will follow. If you
develop the heart, the brain will follow. I raise my children, have picked my career and
make my choices based on these values.”

Christine Carbone Guarino was a very active Friar back in 1986. Among the first of the
female Friars, Christine threw herself into life as a Friar. Student Government member,
Cheerleading and Kickline captain and Softball player, Christine was at the school
more than she was home. Christine is still at school very often – as a Friar parent who
is continuing the tradition with her own children: Alexa, Vincent and Sophia. Both

When Joe came back to Saint Anthony’s
as a coach and later a teacher he knew
he was in the right place. He knew that he
had to give back what was given to him by
Spotlight
athletes he works with. He remembers
his commute to and from school. “Sitting
on a bus for an hour in the morning and
then taking the late bus home at 5:30, I
was forced to be organized with my time
and be proficient with its use in order
to keep up with the academic demands
at Saint Anthony’s.” He also remembers
the very positive impact of the faculty and
staff. He recalls, “…striving to meet the
expectations that teachers and coaches
had (and still have) for their students.
The encouragement and motivation
that I received helped me to realize my
potential and taught me that hard work
pays off. Having great role models at
such an influential age taught me not
to take the easy way out and helped
build the work ethic that I had in college
and still have today.”
Like many of our faculty, Joe Minucci
has been a student and a teacher here
at Saint Anthony’s. Our Alumni faculty
members have seen both sides of the

This winter Jack, who works as a production
associate at NBC, had the time of his life
covering the Winter Olympics in Sochi,
Russia where he served as tape producer
working with producers to get the right
angle and shots to use on air. This summer
Jack was graphic coordinator for the World
Series of Volleyball. This fall and winter he

at the Ryder Cup in Scotland in September.
his teachers and coaches. Although Joe was
positively influenced by many, four men stick
out in his mind: Coach Rich Reichert, Coach
Larry Broesler, Coach Bob Hardwick and Mr.
Bob Kelly. Joe said, “These four gentlemen
taught me what it meant to be a leader and
what hard work is. The confidence they all
had in me empowered me to do more then
I knew I could and helped to shape who I
am today. Joe explains that the values he
was taught at home were reflected at Saint
Anthony’s. ”Coach Reichert, Coach Broesler
and Mr. Kelly were either current or retired
police officers. I think I had a connection
with them because my father is a retired
NYPD detective and they preached the
same lessons and values that I heard at
home. These gentlemen (as well as my
mom because she is a retired teacher)
led me to want to become a coach and
educator because I watched all of them
influence hundreds of kids during their
tenure, and I wanted to do the same thing.”
Jack Kensil is a Friar who is doing what he
loves and who is living the Franciscan values
of caring for those less fortunate. He is a
great role model for our students.

Recently named Assistant Athletic Director
Joe Minucci ’99 is truly one of our Friar
Faithful. Joe and his wife Siobhan (Geerlings
‘00) met in 1997 at Saint Anthony’s. As a
Friar, Joe played football, wrestled and played
baseball. He was a Catholic State Champion
in wrestling as a senior and an All Long Island
selection in Football, as well as part of the
90’s All Decade team. Upon graduation Joe
attended the University of Delaware where
he received his Bachelor’s Degree in Health
Behavior Management with a concentration
in Sports Management / Finance / Marketing
and played football. He went on to get his
Master’s Degree from Adelphi.
Joe can relate well to the students and
to current Friars, Joe responded, “Constantly
keep an open mind and always keep your
ears open. Much of the faculty at Saint
Anthony’s is there to be a positive influence
on you, and whether you want to believe
it or not, we do know what we are talking
about. The size of your generation rivals
that of the Baby Boomer generation.
You will have the ability to do great
things for this country and the world.
You have taken a big step in coming to
Saint Anthony’s to prepare you for the
future. Now do not waste your time
here. Take full advantage of everything
you have here at Saint Anthony’s and
you will be prepared to do great things.
Work hard, follow the values you hear
at home and at school, and do
what is right.”
We are thrilled to have Joe Minucci back

Siobhan hope to send their little girl Cecilia.
Joe is living the Franciscan ideal of service

Kevin and two other pharmacy students traveled with Clinical Pharmacist
Dr. Susanna Gim in order to bring much needed medical supplies and
instruction to local nursing staff, students, pharmacists and community
health workers concerning the risks of life threatening allergic reactions
associated with medication use. The group also provided life saving
medications to help manage reactions to various medications.
The trip did have its difficulties. Kevin explains that often he and his
fellow students had to keep very open minds to the differences in
care that they encountered. Kevin said, “Certain diagnostic luxuries
that we have in the United States are unheard of in Sierra Leone. This
forces clinicians in that region to change their approach in ways that,
at times, seem boldly unorthodox to us.” Ultimately, the group was
able to adapt to the differing approaches and help the clinicians in
their tasks.
Kevin is a fine example of Friars who continue to serve those less
fortunate and we are very proud of his work! He is an instrument
of God’s peace.

National Spotlight
on Maggie Bill ’13
Scholar Athlete and Role
Model Extraordinaire
Joe Percival ’14 received quite a surprise and
going away present before leaving to start
his collegiate career at Princeton University
when he was named as the recipient and
“perfect choice” for Newsday’s first
Marcus A. Henry Award.
The award is named for Newsday sports
reporter Marcus A. Henry, a man who shared
his deep love for sports, but was also a staunch
community leader and a dedicated journalist.
Mr. Henry passed away in April.
Coming off an incredible freshman year at the University of North Carolina
(UNC Chapel Hill) where she played an integral role in the Tar Heels reaching
the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament in both soccer and lacrosse, Maggie
Bill was named to the United States Women’s Lacrosse Team.
For those who had the privilege of playing with her or watching her play while
she wore the Black & Gold, her success at the collegiate level comes as no
surprise. While at Saint Anthony’s she was a three-sport student athlete for
most of her high school career and she led her teams to many League and State
Championships. Her abilities, talent, and sense of team first served her well as
she earned several All-American and Most Valuable Player honors and awards.
Having earned a roster spot on the national team in June, Maggie and her
teammates will begin preparing for the 2017 Senior Women’s World Cup
to be held in England.
Joe made his mark at Saint Anthony’s in the
classroom, on the football field and on the
track. A fierce competitor at every endeavor,
Joe was a first team Newsday All-Long Island
football selection, and was feared by opposing
teams as a defensive end for the Friars.
Princeton has different things in mind and
hopes that Joe will wreak havoc for the Tigers
as a linebacker.
Last Spring, Joe’s speed and quickness paid
huge dividends for the Friars as he took first
place in the CHSAA League Championships
in the 100, 200, and 4x100 meters. While at
Saint Anthony’s Joe was also a member of the
National Honor Society, played the piano in
the Saint Anthony’s Band and made the time
to perform countless hours of community
service, most notably as a youth minister at
the Bread of Life Church in Wyandanch.
More important than all the awards
and accolades is the fact that Joe is an
extraordinary young man whose maturity
is well beyond his years. He is a loving son
and brother who possesses a deep faith and
knows and values the importance of family.
