DEDICATED TO The striking figure of our patron and model, St. Fran- cis de Sales, impresses itself on the face of our school building. Cut in white marble, the features of this scholar saint bespeak the combination of sanctity, learn- ing and refinement which molded his masculine char- acter. Facing on Bancroft Street in Toledo, Ohio, it mokes an eloquent memorial to a man who died at Lyons, France, in 1622. Our school is far removed from the time and place of St. Francis de Sales, but the city of Toledo has felt his influence in a marked degree. The first cathedral was named in his honor and he remains the secondary patron of this diocese. The spiritual life of this community has been enriched immeasurably by the foundation here in 1917 of the nearby Monastery of the Visitation of Holy Mary, the great order estab- lished by the saint himself at Annecy, France, in 1610. Our religious faculty, the Oblotes of St. Francis de Sales, are committed to the mission of spreading the spirit of St. Francis de Sales in the modern world.

As his statue is seen impressed upon our school, so his spirit has been impressed upon our lives. Imitating the virtue and tal- ent which distinguished him presents a staggering chal- lenge, even to one blessed with maturity of years and judgement. To suggest such a model to young men strug- gling with the complexities of adolescence and young adulthood, not to mention the acquisition of knowledge. may seem on unreol idealism. We ore ready to admit that our resemblance to our illustrious patron is only the barest shadow, but, slight though it may be, it serves to grant us membership in the Salesian family. Family pride, even on the spiritual p lane, is a compelling force, and, emboldened by it, we presume to identify our- selves with St. Francis de Sales. In our book, we hove tried to show how that identity came about. It is our earnest prayer that, with our combined eFforts, we may cause the figure of St. Francis de Soles to come to life.
