Our Province of Capuchin Franciscans staffed a High School and College Seminary for 103 years from 1877-1980. Many of our brothers were educated there and came to appreciate the lives of the wonderful (and well-trained!) men who nurtured their knowledge and gave such great examples of faith and goodness.
Our alumni has decided to 'never forget' that story and have created A History of Memories section for the pages of the Alumni webite. Those pages in the coming months will celebrate the history and memories of the people that taught there, worked there, preached there, prayed there, studied there and lived there.
As Dave Schaffner ('81) writes for this initial installment of Memories, "I often get asked about 'the fire. It’s an event so significant in the history of St. Fidelis that, when it’s talked about, it’s just called THE Fire. So when we talked about setting up the History of Memories pages and went through some of the archives, it was clear what should be the first post."
