Fr. Matt Foley
Thank you for all the incredible work you do at St. Francis High School. It’s really inspiring to see a priest who genuinely cares about students in such a deep and meaningful way — not just guiding them in their studies, but also helping them grow as people, leaders, and people of faith. The way you foster a sense of community, encourage service, and live out Franciscan values in your daily work is something that truly makes a difference in students’ lives. It’s clear that your presence and leadership help young people feel supported, challenged, and valued, and that’s such a gift. I’m really grateful that priests like you choose to dedicate themselves to education, mentorship, and forming the next generation in such a thoughtful, compassionate way. Thank you for all the time, energy, and heart you put into your work — it doesn’t go unnoticed, and it truly matters to the students, families, and community you serve. Your example is inspiring, and I hope you know how much your dedication means to so many people.

I want to give a huge shoutout to Father Maloney! The work he’s doing with the parish food pantry is incredible — so many families in our community are getting the support they need because of him. And it’s not just that — all the outreach projects he’s leading really show how much he cares about people and about keeping our parish connected. He’s always out there helping, guiding, and setting such an amazing example. Honestly, we’re so lucky to have him!

I just want highlight, Father Ballard, for everything you do to support future priests. It’s so important to have a priest who really invests in the next generation, mentoring and guiding young men as they discern their call. The way you give your time, your advice, and your example makes a huge difference — not just for them, but for all of us who want the Church to stay strong and full of life. We’re lucky to have a priest who cares that much about the future while still leading your parish with so much heart and energy. Thank you!
