President

April 2, 2022 Dear Friends, It has been three long years since we were able to gather together for this great St. Joe’s tradition, and it has been five years since Lasallian took place at 845 Kenmore Avenue. I am so excited to be back with all of you for this wonderful celebration! While the past two years have been challenging for St. Joe’s, they have also shown the incredible strength of this great Lasallian community. We have much to celebrate this evening, and during the festivities, we will also raise vital funds for financial assistance and academic scholarships, providing opportunities for our current students and future generations of Marauders. Shortly after agreeing to serve as the chair couple for tonight’s event, Jim ’89 and Laura Grable presented the Advancement Team with tonight’s theme: “Welcome Home, Marauders!” This theme most obviously represents the event’s homecoming to the hallowed halls of St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute for the first time in half a decade. Regardless of class year, it is always remarkable to see how this building is so dear to so many generations of alumni. Whether they graduated five years ago or fifty years ago, visiting alumni love to find their locker, their homeroom seat, the site of their winning three-pointer, or even the location of their frequent detentions! The memories of Christian Brothers and revered teachers, coaches, and mentors come flooding back as alumni round each corner. Much like visiting a childhood house, SJCI truly is home to our graduates. Beyond the return to our campus, tonight’s Lasallian represents a return to family. As we quarantined and isolated ourselves amidst the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we lost touch with so many we hold dear in our hearts. While the virus itself devastated so many in our Western New York community, the loneliness and isolation also exacted a significant toll on everyone. Gathering together as a St. Joe’s family after so many months of absence is a true homecoming! I welcome you all back home, and I thank you for returning to be part of this wonderful school community. Throughout the pandemic, we have welcomed a new generation of Marauders to SJCI. Today’s students have endured so much over the past two years–Zoom meetings, distance learning, mandatory quarantines, canceled sports seasons, and missed milestones. Despite these missed opportunities, the brotherhood they have formed is unbelievably strong. They, too, have found a home at St. Joe’s, and your support tonight will enable them to continue their SJCI experience in a future that (hopefully) looks much more normal. On behalf of the young men who are now a part of our St. Joe’s family or will be joining in September, thank you so much! Your support opens the doors of St. Joe’s and enables us to welcome each deserving student, challenge him to be his personal best, and to inspire him to become a man of integrity and service. Thank you for your support of St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute and your partnership in our shared Lasallian Mission. Welcome home, Marauders! St. John Baptist de La Salle . . . Pray for us! Live Jesus in our hearts . . . Forever! Sincerely, Christopher M. Fulco, Ed.D.



LASALLIAN 2022 COMMITTEES It is our honor and privilege to welcome you to Lasallian 2022. We hope that “Welcome Home, Marauders” will be an evening filled with laughter, incredible music, and good food shared with friends and family while raising vital funds to further the Lasallian Mission. Delight in the talents of our St. Joe’s musical ensembles with your Brothers. The Lasallian Mission embodies the vision and innovative spirit of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, the patron saint of teachers, and centers on Catholic values, personal relationships, and academic excellence. Look around. Signs of Brotherhood, the essence of St. Joe’s, are everywhere. These personal relationships last a lifetime, transforming friends into family that you’ve chosen. Brotherhood. Through your philanthropic efforts, the opportunity of Brotherhood is made available to deserving young men across Western New York. We are humbled by the continued generosity of you, the St. Joe’s family. Know that your support tonight impacts the Brothers of both today and tomorrow. We are extremely proud to be Marauder alumni and parents and to call you family. Enjoy! - James ‘89 & Laura Grable
