SCQHCS ln l858, Bishop John Loughlin, first Bishop of Brooklyn, invited the Francis- can Brothers of the Archdiocese of Tuam, Ireland, to assist him in undertaking the work of education in his fast growing dio- cese. ln October of the same year, Saint Francis Monastery of the City of Brook- lyn was founded on Baltic Street: thus, the first private school under Catholic auspices in the Diocese of Brooklyn was opened. Throughout the years, Saint Francis has stood, making such changes as the times dictated but holding fast to the most important constants and objectives of Franciscan training. At one time, what is now known as Saint Francis Preparatory School was a grammar school, high school and college,--a military academy and a boarding school. Standing now in a Fran- ciscan community which includes Saint Francis Monastery and Saint Francis Col- lege, Saint Francis Preparatory School is located on Baltic Street between Smith and Court Streets and is about ten blocks from the Borough Hall section of Brook- lyn. Saint Francis Preparatory School is accredited by the Board of Regents of the State of New York and is empowered to grant diplomas acceptable for admis- sion to any college in the United States. Graduates from Saint Francis Preparatory School have been awarded degrees at West Point, Annapolis, Columbia Uni- versity, Notre Dame, Fordham, Saint Francis College, Oxford University and countless other colleges and universities in this country and abroad.
