About the
Pathway.
The Pathway to St. Francis project began as a 2,500-brick walkway at the base of the statue of St. Francis at the intersection of Francis Lewis Boulevard and Horace Harding Expressway. Since its inception, generations of alumni, family members and friends have contributed engraved bricks in honor of cherished memories, loved ones and milestones.
Due to overwhelming interest and support, the pathway was expanded in 2018. Each engraved brick or memorial bench stands as a visible expression of gratitude, remembrance and connection to the St. Francis Prep community.
This is a unique opportunity to leave a lasting legacy while supporting the future of St. Francis Preparatory School.
