St. John’s School of
Law recognized the generosity of Joseph M. (‘53C, ’55L, ’94HON) and
Mary Ann Mattone by naming a well-appointed and newlyrefurbished
room built to be the heart of its community as the Mattone Family
Atrium.
Michael A. Simons, Dean, St. John’s School of Law, noted that by
naming the atrium after the Mattone Family, it will stand “…as a
testament to what love of family, hard work, living a moral life
and helping our fellow man can do for communities small and
large.”
Joseph and Mary Ann Mattone are among the University’s most
generous and loyal supporters. They are members of The Founder’s
Society, an exclusive donor recognition group reserved for those
who have made gifts to St. John’s of $1 million or more during
their lifetime. They are also both recipients of the Spirit of
Service Award, established by St. John’s University to recognize
those exceptional persons whose vision, accomplishments and good
works have had a profound impact on their communities and our
world.
