St. Anthony's College (SAC) kicked off its annual Intramurals today, October 22, 2025, with a powerful announcement: the official launch of its new, unified sports icon and brand, The Wolves. This game-changing reveal marked the start of the Intramurals, which will run through October 25, 2025, and instantly reinforced SAC's unique athletic identity.
The choice of The Wolves is a powerful one, directly tied to the heart of the school’s commitment to the Franciscan charism—it’s about disciplined strength, not just competitive spirit. The mascot draws its meaning from the legendary story of St. Francis of Assisi and the Wolf of Gubbio.
In the 13th-century tale, St. Francis faced a terrifying wolf. Instead of fighting it, Francis tamed the powerful animal through faith and compassion, transforming the wolf into a loyal protector of the community.
"Our strength is defined by our discipline," said Sr. Ellen S. Labrador, FAS, Ph.D. -College President during the launch. "We embody Peace in competition, Humility in victory, and Community in every challenge."
