Learn about our 5 Membership Levels Below
| Fr. Amateis Level $100* Fr. Amateis was the founding pastor of Our Lady of Loreto Church. Membership at this level, honors him and his service to the community of Italian immigrants that he served. He is shown here at the foot of the entrance to OLOL Church. The date is not recorded, but we estimate that it was taken shortly after the Church was built, mid 1930s. |
 |
| Fr. Schifalacqua Level $75* Fr. Schifalacqua became the second Pastor of Our Lady of Loreto Church after the retirement of Fr. Amateis, about 1968. Fr. Schifalacqua came to be affectionately known as "Fr. Boss". He was an amazing leader, both spiritually and generally. He worked side-by-side with his congregation and built the parish to its greatest level of membership (over 1000 families) and to its height of community spirit. He was stern but loving and generous. Truly the "Chairman of the Board". It was once humorously but respectfully noted that if Frank Sinatra had been a Priest, he'd have been Fr. Schifalacqua. He built OLOL School and, with his unwavering support, watched it, and its graduates flourish until his retirement in 1993. He inspired two vocations to the priesthood from our parish. Membership at this level honors Fr. "Boss" Schifalacqua and all the men who become Priests to serve God and his people for all the right reasons and in all the best ways. |
 |
| Sister Fulginette Level $50* Sister Fulginette was the First Principal of Our Lady of Loreto School. She, and the Bernardine Fransiscan Sisters, served Our Lady of Loreto from 1959 through 1994. Sister Fulginette was, ironically, also the last Bernardine Sister to serve as Principal of Our Lady of Loreto. She is shown here at both phases of her tireless service. Membership at this level honors her in particular, but also all the women who have dedicated their lives to religious service to Christ and His people wherever they may be and whatever their needs. |
 |
| Blue & Gold (Lancers) Level $35* This membership level honors Our Lady of Loreto School in general. Blue and Gold were the colors of our athletic teams and cheerleaders. By joining at this level, you honor all students and student athletes, cheerleaders, Coaches, and parents related to Catholic Elementary School. |
 |
