Avalon graduate who is entering seminary shaped by his foundation of faith at that school

Although Peter Bronzi spent most of his elementary and high school years at the Avalon School, the three years he left to attend public school from seventh to ninth grade actually gave him the greatest appreciation he could ever imagine for the all-boys Catholic K-12 school in Wheaton.

In an email interview, Bronzi reflected on his education, his strong faith formation, the lively community and the brotherhood of friendships he found at Avalon.

“I love Avalon! I haven’t found a community like it anywhere else I’ve looked! The boys I’ve made friends with over the years have been indispensable to my intellectual and spiritual formation,” Bronzi wrote. “I’ve been taught things that actually matter to life outside of school. I’m not talking about stuff like how to do your taxes or how to build a resume, I mean that we’ve learned what beauty really is, how to be a man, and why life is really worth living… I would not be the man I am today without Avalon.”
