Well, what can I say? These were the best times of my life (although I didn't know it at the time!).  I have so many wonderful memories of this school. And I lived on Carroll Street, so it was a pleasure. I walked by it recently, and it really has not changed much. When it opens in the fall, I might just stop by the book fair!

I don't know why, but I started thinking about my school the other night and thought I would look it up. My family and I where one of the first Cuban families in this school.  To me this school was my family. My home life was less then perfect, so I was in the church choir and girl scouts. I used to help with the deaf children and it came in handy when I had a hearing impaired daughter. Well, I don't know how things are, but I hold this school very close to my heart. I think a lot of who I am today is because of my teachers and the nuns I spent so much time with.

A wonderful, wonderful childhood and experience at SFX. Wonderful Sisters and lay teachers like Sr. Mary Costanza, Sr. Marion, Miss Ganay, Sr. Olympia and I were friends.  Great friends.  I can still remember going to the Lyceum for the bazaar each year. Jumping rope in the huge playground, marching in the St. Patty's Day Parade as a Girl Scout.  SFX is absolutely the foundation of my journey with the Lord.  Thanks!

I still go to school at Saint Francis Xavier. I am in the 6th grade and will be going into 7th. I have been a student of SFX school since I was in Kindergarten, and I have learned a lot from both Sister Kathleen and the teachers.  All of the teachers at SFX are very skillful and are interesting in what they are saying and teaching, and in a few years I will be able to go to high school will all that I learned in all my years in Saint Francis.

I can't believe St. Francis has a web-site. I have so many childhood memories of this place. I attended grades 1 to 5... I met a lot of lovely people (1985-1989).  So Melinda, Danna, Melissa Washington would love to get in touch with you guys! Also anyone else from that period. Sister Kathleen was the principal at that time. Is she still around. I can't remember the secretary's name but she was the sweetest. Sister Rosemary very nice teacher! Never had her as a teacher, but all my siblings did, and right before I got the opportunity to have her as a teacher we moved!

I have so many good memories of St. Francis Xavier School and Church. I would love to get together with my former classmates. Sister Claude Maria was my second grade teacher. I last saw her at my brother Jerry's funeral. Jerry also attended St. Francis and was taught by the Franciscan Brothers.

I remember wearing the SFX hat rolled up (a no-no), but the "cool" girls wore the hats rolled up during recess time and then the pin came off when entering the school building. I cried after graduation, not looking forward to moving on to "foreign territory" - high school.  I felt so safe at SFX. I cried so much after graduation - I just know my heart was broken.

Boy, do I miss growing up on Union Street, SFX and all the good times!

Does any SFX student from the forties and/or fifties remember the late great Father John Kean? Later he became Msgr. Kean but for about the first 20 years of his priesthood he was with us at SFX. Even after he left SFX I would visit him in his various parishes and lastly at the Little Sisters in Queens Village where he stayed until he died in June 1999. All during the 60's, 70's and 80's he would visit me in the various parishes where I was stationed in the Albany diocese. What would you think of an annual memorial Mass [like on a Saturday late morning] each June at SFX Church sacred to his memory? Email me if you would like to see it and would make an effort to join us at SFX. /frfr

I am a proud 1964 graduate of SFX. My brother, my father, my uncle and my cousins also graduated from SFX. I lived on Union St between 5th and 6th Avenues and I remember walking to and from school each day. I fondly remember our Principal, Brother Cyprian, who also served for a time as the track team coach of which I was a member. I would like to hear from any classmates. I visited the school last July and was glad to see that it was still thriving. Thanks for the memories.

I attended SFX starting approximately 1945 (was born 1939) and left Brooklyn for a life in Florida at age 12 in 1950.  We lived at 627 Carroll St. between 5th & 6th Avenues.  The family names were Aiello, Speziale and Digati.  I was recently looking though some old "stuff" and found the little first communion book that all Catholic children receive, belonging to my then friend Carol Donato at 676 (?) President St.  Is it possible that the church still has contact with some members of her family?  I would sure love to get this back to her or her family.  I was friends with Lucy Casso, Joyce Montebello, Vivian Cuccurullo, Barbara Hillman (?).  Our neighbors that I remember were the Castellano's and the Giordano's (across the street).  Well, to my dismay, I am having a senior hiccup and can't remember the others.  I hope you can help me with this.  Oh, Mary Keegan was in my class.  I have my book and am sure Carol would love to have hers.

Thank you for your anticipated help.

Sending me to St. Francis Xavier was the BEST decision my parents made. The caring, dedicated, and motivating teacher are the reason that I choose to consider a career in education. St. Francis is the reason that I always feel at home in Park Slope! St. Francis Xavier changed my life tremendously and helped me to believe that I am able to accomplish any goal I set for myself, and I owe full appreciation to my old teachers specifically Mr. C, who never failed to believe in my intelligence, Ms. Curry, Ms. Glodowski, Ms. Harris, Sr. Margaret, Ms. Coffee, Ms. McNulty, Ms. Dello, Ms. Virginia, are all examples of teachers that give a child hope to exceed to her fullest potential. Thanks for then, now and forever! May God Bless you all!

Hello from Baltimore. I was reading in the Catholic Review the closings of schools in Brooklyn, NY and was quite relieved to see that St. Francis Xavier was not among those closing its doors. I was a 3rd Grade student (1947-48) and made my First Communion at SFX, a long time ago! My 3rd Grade Nun was Sister Francis Regis and although I was somewhat of an active youngster requiring a crack on the knuckles with her ruler once or twice, she did request and enjoy this 7 year old's rendition of Galway Bay; not bad for a little Polish-Italian girl! It was a joy visiting your site. God continue to bless SFX's school and church.

Sincerely
Donna [Derowski] DiPalo

Just found this website. I'm a former student of SFX. Graduated in 1965. Did come back for a reunion several years ago. It was great seeing the old school, which looked much smaller than I remembered. My disappointment was not meeting any former classmates at the reunion. I also enjoyed seeing the church which I attended while living on Garfield Place. This of course was many years ago.

When I attended St. Francis I was called Andy Fraser. I graduated from St. Francis in 1958 and went to Brooklyn Tech. I do return to Brooklyn occasionally, but do not go back that much any more.

I joined the USAF in 1962 and retired in 1982. I live in Boise Idaho and retired a couple of years ago. I sold my business. I am married with three grown kids and they all live here in Boise. I cook and play on the Internet. (I have worked with computers since 1966.)

I have some fond memories of life at SFX. I also have some war stories that still entertain me when thinking about what went on in and out of school and the characters who took part in these events. It's too bad we can't go back to personally thank those who inspired us or gave us a push. But, somehow, I feel they know our intentions.

Hello to all.

Class Of 1959. MOved to LI, though, for 8th Grade to see how challenging it could be to have the Sisters of Notre Dam after the Franciscans.
Lived across from the SFX at 794 President St. Did a bunch of Altar Boy work.
Great Memories from a great era.

Father Keane always got tickets for the Dodger's games so we could have fun in the summer.
Hope to see you all at a reunion.
THat would be the only chance to see the members of the opposite sex who were hidden from us all those years.

I went to St. Francis school 22 years ago and still have very fond memories of our school. I now live in California and I am a teacher, but often remember my times in Brooklyn. Upon returning to St. Francis for a visit, I was very delighted to see Sister Kathleen and Ms. De Genova still there. I was also very pleased to see my name on the 1981 5th grade principal's honor roll still shinning.

Can't believe this web site is here! My name is Tom Worsdale, Class Of '66 - almost 37 years ago, but it still seems like yesterday. I lived on 1st St and then President St. The principal was Bro. Ciprian. Some of my teachers: Mrs Casitano, MacNamee, Luango, Dunn, McMahon, Bro Amadeus. I was in the SFX Little League, played on the SFX baseball and basketball teams for Bro Henry, Cub Pack 22 with Mr Krause, Boy Scout Troop 22 with Mr Borgia, Choir and Altar Boy - I even served Mass for Mon. Hoar - in Latin! Some great childhood memories.
Now I'm a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel (lived all over the country)who works for the Navy (as a civilian) in Lakehurst, NJ.
Anyone from '66 or that era who might remember me - drop me an e-mail!
Look forward to any reunions that are upcoming. - On for old St. Francis, On Red and Gold ...

Anyway: I look forward to the 90th anniversary, and me memories of classmates (where are you Gennaro Tartaglia, Ralphie Furrillo, and Richie Casertano?) and serving six am mass and good teachers is trong.

I attended St. Francis in 1966-67 for first grade. Used to live just a feww buildings down on President St. and went home for lunch half the time. Moved to NJ later and went on from there. Now live in Japan for a while, but it is always nice to get back to Brooklyn for real pizza and bagels.

HI my name is Patricia Kirby (T.C.)I started in SFX in 1959
1/2 days for the 1st grade because their were so many kids and not enough teachers. Our 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th grade class's had about 50-60 girls but we still all learned to read and write. I left in 7th grade and moved to Bay Ridge then went to O.L.P.H. high school .My late mom Bernadette (Bo) Jeans went there too in the 30's and we both had the same art teacher Mrs. Smithers!
