The formation of the League of Friars began in early 2004 when 12 Mount Assisi Academy dads answered the initial call to come and share their time, talent and treasure. The Mission of the League of Friars is to contribute to the operational and capital resources of Mount Assisi Academy, thereby helping to ensure its place in the education of future generations of young women – the Franciscan Way.

Through their networking with fathers of both current and former MAA students, and contacts outside the school community the League of Friars helps to address the short and long-term resource issues facing MAA – primarily through their fundraising efforts. The League of Friars matches its ability to raise funds to the most pressing needs of the Academy, and also assists the administration and existing clubs and associations with their time and talents.
