HONORING ROSE MARIE DAVIS
2019 MENDEL MEDAL RECIPIENT:
MRS. ROSE MARIE DAVIS
The founder and president of Superior Legal Services, and a member of the Prep’s Board of Directors, serving on both the Advancement and Human Resources Committees, Mrs. Rose Marie Davis is a regular presence on campus, a frequent attendant of the weekly school Mass, and passionate member of the school community to the extent of attending Third Semester trips abroad with students and their families. Her philanthropic spirit has changed the Prep and her personal spirit and contagious laugh have captured the hearts of the community. Rose began her nearly 20-year relationship with St. Augustine Prep at the school’s 1998 Gregor Mendel Medal Award Dinner in honor of a dear friend, Mr. Lawrence A. Pepper, Jr. Mr. Pepper would later extend an invitation to the school’s tradition of Wednesday Mass. Quickly intrigued and impressed by the Prep’s mission and community,
“I WAS COMPLETELY TAKEN UP WITH THE SCHOOL, BUT WHAT
REALLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION AND AMAZED ME WERE THE BOYS. ALL DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS; NATIONALITIES; RELIGIONS; AND YET, ALL COMING TOGETHER, TRULY ACCEPTING EACH OTHER AS BROTHERS.
- ROSE MARIE DAVIS

”
“AS BEAUTIFUL AS THESE BUILDINGS ARE, AND AS MAGNIFICENT AS THIS CAMPUS IS, AND AS BIG AS THAT SWIMMING POOL IS, ST. AUGUSTINE PREP IS NOT ABOUT THE BUILDINGS, THE LANDSCAPE OR THAT BIG SWIMMING POOL. HERE, AT ST. AUGUSTINE PREP, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BOYS.
- ROSE MARIE DAVIS
”
and more importantly by the quality of its young men and their relentless pursuit of excellence, service, and brotherhood, she embarked on a selfless, philanthropic journey that has forever changed St. Augustine Prep. Her commitment and generosity have provided countless students with one of the most impactful learning environments of any high school in the entire world. The Louis and Josephine Buondonno Forum, opened in 2007, is named in honor of her parents. The Vincent L. Buondonno Center, for which she was the singular benefactor, was dedicated on December 7, 2016, and has transformed the campus. Rose consistently supports many of the school’s events including the Fr. Stephen LaRosa Golf Tournament and the Run for the Roses. She has become a role model to the very brotherhood and school community she adores – past, present and future. Most importantly, Rose has set the example for all to pay it forward for future Hermit Brothers in the same way she has done so herself.
