The 63rd Mr. Canisius was announced by Principal Tom Coppola ‘01 at this morning’s Senior Awards Ceremony.
 
The words of Mr. Canisius 2024 upon being nominated:
 
“My four years here shaped me to be the man I am today and I am eternally grateful to have had this opportunity.
 
“My first few weeks at Canisius were focused on getting to classes on time and meeting new people – not what kind of man I would become.
 
“Now that I am looking at things on the other side, I realize that in between these seemingly trivial experiences, Canisius has not only shown me what a better man is, but the incremental steps it takes to become a better man: The self-discipline I gained through difficult times, the compassion I gained through the love of what I do every day, or the confidence I gained through the great relationships that I have developed.
 
“The experience of going to this school is remarkable. Whether it is going on a retreat, attending a sporting event, or simply being able to walk through the Blue Doors every morning. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the world.
 
“I want to express my gratitude for being nominated for this. I would also like to congratulate the other nominees: Petros, Evan, Henry, Matthew and Ryan. It is an honor to even be compared to these great men.”
 
Patrick Sullivan
A.M.D.G.
