We believe the claim is true but we can't remember where on the building it was located. Email: mtrott1@hotmail.com if you have an idea or better yet, a photo...

Father Jerry Priscaro, Class of '79, Announces Details of pending Vincentian Priest visit to Erie ...
I am most happy to announce that Fr. Michael Shea C.M. a Vincentian Priest of the Eastern Province & Archdiocese of Philadelphia will be the guest preacher & celebrant for the 105th Annual Novena in honor of Good St. Ann at St. Ann's Church in Erie, PA from Thursday, July 18th - Friday, July 26th. Fr. Shea was born in Brooklyn, NY. He was ordained a Vincentian Priest in 1970 by Bishop McShea, bishop of the Diocese of Allentown, PA. He has been a priest for 54 years celebrating his 50th anniversary in 2020. Fr. Shea taught at St. Thomas More High School in Philadelphia, PA from 1970-1975. He continued on as a teacher at West Catholic High School in Philadelphia from 1975 - 1976. Then taught at Archbishop Ward High School in Philadelphia from 1976 - 1983. His next priest assignment was professor and athletic director at Niagara University in Niagara Falls, NY from 1983 - 1990. He then served as campus minister at Auburn University in Alabama from 1990 - 1995. During the years 1995 - 2010 he was the retreat director at St. Lazare Retreat Center in Spring Lake, Michigan. From 2010 to the present time he has served as assistant director of the Minor Basilica Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in the Germantown section of the Northwest Philadelphia area.

From the Vincentians facebook page ... some notable anniversaries this month...
The month of May is a significant month for many priests around the world, especially those who were ordained priests then. In the history of New England Province most of our priests were ordained in May either in Poland or in the United States. Today, May 28, we commemorate the 35th priesthood anniversary of three Confreres: Fr. RAFAŁ KOPYSTYŃSKI CM, Fr. EUGENIUSZ KOTLŃSKI CM and Fr. TADEUSZ MACIEJEWSKI CM.
It is also necessary to say those three are not the only ones celebrating today. Another two priests: Fr. G. MAREK SADOWSKI CM and Fr. JAN SZYLAR CM are celebrating their 29th anniversaries.
Since we already mentioned most of the priests in our Province are ordained in May, let us note them here. They are Frs. WACŁAW HŁOND CM (1971), GRZEGORZ MARKULAK CM (1998, it will be observed in September), SŁAWOMIR SZUCKI CM(1997), ANTHONY KUZIA CM (1976), CHESTER MROWKA CM (1959) and MITCHELL WANAT CM (1971)
Let us include all of them mentioned here in our prayers and loving memory.
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who take recourse in Thee.

2022 Reunion Wrap-up from Phil
Dear Kantyites:
Our Reunion, however small, was very enjoyable. Woodloch did all it could to make it an enjoyable experience. Accommodations, food, and activities were all excellent. A little too cool to swim outside; however, the boat ride was great!
Eight of us came. They included two sets of brothers — Chris and Bish Kulpinski—54 and 55., Walter and Dave Mielcaryk, —61 and 64, Fred Rabut 61, Ray Wisnieski, and I, Class of 57 and Gary Humienny.. Altogether 18 attended including family and friends. This was the first time the Kulpinskis attended at Woodloch. It was very good to see them and share. Chris came in from Scottsdale to a family reunion as well.
Over the years we have had many reunions in various locations. We have been going to Woodloch since 2014 - with one exception- 2020-Covid related. Increasingly our numbers have diminished largely due to the aging process for ourselves and loved ones. I’m sorry to say the attendance going forward looks bleak. This is the first time the 53 contingent did not attend. Of the seven that usually came from the class of 57, only two attended. It’s difficult. We’re aging. Of the 8 that attended, probably 4 would be coming next year. Not very practical..
I personally was touched by the warmth , appreciation,and emotion exuded at our departure. It was as true brothers leaving and doubting they would see each other again. To this I say thank you and Bog Zaplac.
All the best to you and yours.
Phil Spletzer-57

A Christmas Message From Phil ...
Christmas Blessing
Hi Guys and Gals:
I was going to title this Christmas Greetings but decided Christmas Blessing more appropriate. Another year has passed and I’m not the only one that has gotten a year older. We all are and in the current environment feel that we are indeed blessed. We are here! Under the circumstances of Covid that is indeed something to be grateful about. We are also grateful for our Kanty friends and classmates. From the Clas of 57, 15 of us are still here. We all have, hopefully, the opportunity to see each other again in September. Make your reservation- a Christmas gift to yourself and each of us that attend.
Camille and I wish you all of God’s blessing and a healthy and safe New Year.
All the best,
Phil Spletzer

2021 Reunion Wrap-up From Phil ...
Hi Guys and Gals:
Well the Reunion is over. Mike is right the numbers dropped significantly the last few days. We ended up with 24. Nine of us Kantyites. The Mielcareks had their own family reunion for which I was truly grateful.. it would have been truly embarrassing for us had they not been there. Far too few.That being said we were able to get to know each other better and I would say they definitely added to the camaraderie . Thx Dave and Walter.
Our Kanty brothers consisted of 3 from our class of 57and 3 from "the ‘53.class. Although small in number it was most enjoyable. Our remembrances at Kanty and the renewal of friendships with the spouses were great.. A very happy and pleasant time.
At our meeting we discussed whether or not to continue the Reunions. All felt it was wonderful and they were happy to come again next year. Covid, declining health , distance, and age were all factors that contributed to our smaller group. That being said, the reunion will take place next September. Hopefully all will be well enough to attend and others as well. No definite date at this point but it will be right around the same time. When I know the details I will let you all know. Please speak to your Classmates and friends and family and join us next year.
All the best to you and yours.

As you are well aware our Reunion is scheduled for September. Sorry to say it is being cancelled due to the pandemic. There is no need for us to subject ourselves to undue risk. I can assure you I have consulted with a number of our members including the medical professions. It’s sad but necessary. Hopefully conditions will be a lot better next year. Tentatively it is scheduled for Sept.13-17 of 2021.
Anyone who has signed on should call Woodloch for a full refund..
All the best,
Phil Spletzer ‘57

From Mike Zimmer ...
Dear Kanty brother: Benedicamus Domino... I woke up this morning to an unusual 09:00 silence; This is the first time since we moved in to Lancaster NY in 1964 there was no July 4th parade; This is my 81st birthday and I thought the marchers were celebrating my bon natali; The times are strange and society is in failure; "O tempora, O mores" is a reality; 3 friends have passed this week and our Ziggy appears to be in decline; Reality is looming ever present inviting us to trust in God's plan for our lives and pray for acceptance of our personal lot, hopefully as a job well done; Meanwhile be reminded, every day is a gift from God, for us to make of it as we chose; I chose to enjoy each moment as best I can to love others no matter how they act; My grand children are out on their own, my children are empty nesting...welcome to the club; So much more to share however we all have our stories to hand down to the next generation; Do it while you have the opportunity with family; Hope to see you at Woodloch, those who can make it; Meanwhile ...take life a day at a time and thank God for it' Deo Gratias... Mike Zimmer '57 Subject: Reunion—Sept. .21-25
From Phil Spletzer '57 My Dear Friends: It is hard to believe that we are almost in the middle of February. We need to begin to think of warmer weather and the friendships and the good times we have had in the past. Woodloch awaits! That's the future! Something to look forward to. September seems far away but at this stage of our lives it is flying- at least for me? Our friends await! The memories of our days at Kanty can be shared. I do not have to tell you how great it will be to go back. The food, accommodations, activities together with our friends are all we need. Nothing not to like. Prices are very much what they last year. How long you stay is up to you! What I am asking you to do is to sign up - Reserve Now! I know I’ll be getting a call that they cannot hold the rooms any longer- That they have to go back to their inventory. I also know that we can be concerned about our health or that of a spouse. I can honestly tell you they are very generous with the return of deposits due to a health problem.

My dear Kanty brother : In the quiet morning hours I take time to pray and meditate, starting the day. This morning I became full of gratitude and thanksgiving for the gift of filial love and affection experienced through the Kanty reunion this week. We are a select group of men, set apart, from the commonality of the world as we grew through our teen years. Good , bad or indifferent, there is an indelible bond in all of us, offering a life of moral principals and a relationship with Jesus for the kind goodness to those we encounter in our daily life. It began with our parents and solidified by the Vincentians at Kanty. The Kanty reunion at Woodloch brought an impressive response of 9 classmates and 5 spouses from our class of 1957. The conversations were varied and in depth in reminiscing and family experiences. By the grace of god we navigate the vicissitudes of life, eventually realizing they are personal learning experiences. Once again, the drive home had mixed feelings as too short a time yet a fulfilling taste of friendship unique to the select few souls in our brotherhood. We extend heartfelt thoughts to Biel, Andy, Ziggy, Caz, Karpo, Roadrunner, and Carl who were unable to attend this year. Godspeed... Every day is a gift, a blank page...what we wish to inscribe upon that page is our choice; I like to think life as fantastic and getting better...make each gift count. Even though I look forward to next year at Woodloch, I take it one day at a time. Shalom, Mike Z. '57 2019 Kanty Prep All Class Reunion Reminder... Sept 16-20

2018 Kanty Reunion Recap -- From Mike Zimmer (KP57)
Dear Kanty brother: Benedicamus Domino... Here we are once again,motoring to Woodloch Pines Resort in Hawley, PA. My son-in-law Bob acting as my private chauffeur,my daughter Lisa communicator-in-chief and myself riding shotgun, all of us having their particular “best way” to go to the Saint John Kanty Prep Reunion. I was able to marvel at the awesome vista of the plush countryside as we progressed through N.Y. And PA. A wonderful decompression from the world of breaking news, social struggles and power politics with which we are incessantly bombarded. I highly encourage you to consider bringing a family member or dear mate to enjoy the opportunity for a tranquil respite from the daily hustle-bustle. My granddaughter Stephanie came in mid-week and I'm delighted to report, thoroughly enjoyed the Woodloch experience. We arrived via Bob's Google Map directions, coming in from the northern approach and 30 minutes shorter drive time. Registration at the Main Lodge was quick and efficient as usual. The staff of 2200 are upbeat, friendly, ever more intent on satisfying your every whim. I have never discerned a negative vibe from anyone over all the years we have visited Woodloch. This attracts quality guests and top shelf entertainment. Even the guest children and toddlers were observed as polite cooperative and respectful...amazing what personal attentiveness can produce. By Tuesday most of the alumni arrived for the greetings and salutations to begin. Some guys dropped out, others were yet expected during the week while the group made use of the Kranich hospitality house and the multitude of daily activities provided for one's choosing. Taste and see the goodness of the Lord...:We are being fed in all ways in this reunion. Physically from three full service, high quality breakfast, lunch and dinner meals; Emotionally from cordial and ingratiating sharing with persons we love from afar now together for a brief time; Spiritually from Natures flora and fauna grandeur and sylvan quiet of this campus; Those attending: (to my recall): Bill Humienny '53; Art Oleszkowski,'53 (June) Joe Lepkowski'57; (MaryAnn) Phil Spletzer,'57;(Camile) Ray Wisniewski, '57;(Pat) Mike Zimmer, '57; Ron Buchner, '58;(Wanda) Tom Jasovosky,'60; Al Janicki,'61;(Gloria) Waly Mielcarek,'61;(Glendene) Tony Szewczyk,'61;(Judy) Dave Mielcarek,'64; (Kathleen) Gary Humienny,'74; An informal business meeting was conducted by President Art Oleszkowski Thursday mid-morning at the Kranich House. We remembered our deceased and absent brothers; Frank Kalista,57, Casimir Kiczek Esq.;57 and Robert Zielinski '53 were memorialized among others; For ease of access, our Saint John Kanty Alumni Association finances ($5,000+) are to be transferred from treasurer Richard Cywinski in Pittsburgh PA to the dominion of President Art Oleskowski Eden N.Y. and third party signatory Al Janicki Utica, N.Y. Continued discussion was held regarding the future of the venue options for our dwindling group. A multitude of options and localities were considered, pro and con. This meeting unanimously agreed to authorize Phil Spletzer to make arrangements to reserve Woodloch for next years Kanty Prep 2019 reunion. The date was set for Monday, September 16th through Friday September 20th, 2019. As previously stated I recognize I am in the last 10 minutes of the forth quarter. I want to make every play count, The Lord gifted us with another opportunity to bond and reminisce regarding the gift of Kanty brotherhood an experience unavailable to most men. Live one day at a time, one moment at a time as the true gift that it is in this brief life. When our assignment is complete we will be called back to our merciful and loving Source, the Creator.. Take the opportunity to maintain contact with brother Kantyites in your locality. A phone call or email for lunch or coffee does wonders for good memories for all involved. Till we meet in reunion again or the breaking of the bread at the Lords table... Deo Gratias... Shalom Mike Zimmer Jr. '57 Most excellent recap Mike! Take Care.... UPDATE: Kanty Reunion -- September 17-21, 2018
Dear Kantyites: Well that time is quickly approaching. Our Reunion begins the 17th. We are looking forward to seeing you there. If by any chance you have not made your reservation I urge you to do so immediately. I have just spoken with my contact there and she told me that only a few rooms were left mid week. Call 1800 Woodloch . Hit on Reunions.. All the best, Phil -‘57 _________________________________________________________ Dear Kantyites: It's that time again. Time to plan to be with our Kanty Family. The dates are Sept. 17-21. Rooms have been set aside. The amenities we have come to enjoy so much,-- the food, the rooms as well as any activities you might wish to participate in are all there. As in the past the hospitality house is there for our use. I will be bringing snacks as well as beverages--beer, wine, soda and liquor. All we need is you. The price is very much the same--$153 to $161 per person per night. Singles are 20- percent more. Those of us that have attended know what a wonderful place Woodloch is.. You can go on their sight-- www.woodlochpines.com if you have not attended and would like to see what it's like. Please make your reservation this month. The RESORT has given me a date of March 6 to hold the rooms for us. After that date the rooms go back into their stock They need a deposit of $100. I know that we hesitate in making reservations that far in advance. Concerns for health and other family obligations that may come up can get in the way. I have found Woodloch ,most gracious in cancelling should it be necessary. Come join the fun and friendships we have so much enjoyed. Woodloch is the perfect place for us. The older we get the more we realize that. Also it would also be wonderful to see some faces we haven't seen in some time. Please call any classmates to see if they can join us. Good luck and God Bless. Should you have any questions or problems don't hesitate to get back to me. Phil "57 |

2017 Kanty Reunion Wrap-up from Michael Zimmer '57
Dear Kanty brother:
Benedicamus Domino...
I have been looking forward to this years reunion since the February reservation commitment. The only issue bugging me was an earlier uncomfortable experience I had attempting to visit my sister in her new assisted-living residence in Rochester N.Y. Eschewing a GPS, I followed my AAA map, missed a turnoff and briefly toured the rural countryside of northwestern Rochester. Traveling alone quickly became an aversion. I turned to my children who were more than enthusiastic to accompany me once again to Woodloch for this years Kanty reunion. Consequently we all had a wonderful respite from the daily grind, same as we experienced last year. I heartily encourage you to take the opportunity to enjoy family by having a member come with you when you travel.
Registration, as usual, went smoothly with all registrants enjoying sparkling quarters with comfortable accommodations. Settling in, gave us time to review the between meals list of daily activities available for all guests, young and old, all day into the evening hours.
Early morning sunlight invites one to prayer and meditation on our deck overlooking the placid lake. Contemplating nature prompts us to acknowledge the flora and fauna, nature's elements functioning in concert, reflecting the Creator's immense gift of life. Life cycles become even more obvious upon the onset of the upcoming Fall foliage. Indeed, sincere gratitude to God is difficult to ignore in this sylvan campus.
This year we had 19 alumni attend including 7 from the celebrated class of '57;
Class of '53 Bill Humienny (Ellen) and Art Oleszkowski (June);
Class of '57 Andy Brzozkiewicz (Joyce), Stan Dziuba, Stan Karpinski (Marian), Joe Lepkowski (Mary Ann), Phil Spletzer (Camille), Ray Wisniewski (Pat), Mike Zimmer;
Class of '58 Ron Buchner (Wanda) and Dan Karlinski (Jeanne);
Class of '60 Tom Jasovosky;
Class of '61 Al Janicki (Gloria),Walt Mielcarek the elder, (Glendene), Tom Prykuta (Catherine), Fred Rabut (Regina), Tony Szewczyk (Judy);
Class of '64 Dave Mielcarek the younger, (Kathleen), Joe Cimochowski;
Thursday after another generous breakfast we adjourned to the Kranich hospitality house for the annual Alumni business meeting. President Art Oleszkowski opened with a prayer remembering those alums who have recently passed on to their just reward. 19 of us were present to consider the eventual reality of our St John Kanty Alumni Association as the aging process takes its relentless toll. There is an obvious need for the younger classes to provide the energy and interest if we are to remain viable.
Treasurer Richard Cywinski states the present balance of $5,600.60 in our Alumni account. Active alumni are to be issued a $100 memorial when notified as voted in 2016 and the installation of Al Janicki '61 as a third party signatory for check authorization stands.
Discussion ensued regarding alternative venues for future reunions. Several sites and geographical proximity were addressed with nothing measuring up to the exquisite service, activities and convenience afforded by Woodloch Resort. The vote to hold 2018 St John Kanty Reunion at Woodloch was unanimous.
Phil Spletzer contacted the Woodloch management and the reserving for next years reunion has been set for Monday September 17th thru Friday the 21st, 2018
As I write this epistle I find today is the feast day of our patron saint St Vincent de Paul the founder of an outreach to the poor and destitute; The Congregation of the Mission evolved from the Vincentians, our CM's being of Polish extraction. We are in gratitude for the priests effort in training us from boys into young men based on a Christian faith belief system and moral compass.
Our reunions prompt my recall of the smell of after shave lotion, incense and sweat absorbed woolen cassocks, the aroma of scotch and cigar smoke in the second floor rear faculty library containing valuable, rare, reference volumes. Yet the presence of the sole television and Saturday college football games seemed to be a curious intrusion. The loving commitment by the priests of the New England Province established in each of us a lifelong indelible impression.
As previously stated I recognize I am in the last 10 minutes of the forth quarter. I want to make every play count, The Lord gifted us with another opportunity to bond and reminisce regarding the gift of Kanty brotherhood an experience unavailable to most men.
Live one day at a time, one moment at a time as the true gift that it is in this brief life. When our assignment is complete we will be called back to our merciful and loving Source.
Take the opportunity to maintain contact with brother Kantyites in your locality. A phone call or email for lunch or coffee does wonders for good memories for all involved.
Till we meet in reunion again or the breaking of the bread at the Lords table...
Deo Gratias...
