Rev. Thomas A. McGovern

It is fitting that during this, the Church鈥檚 Year of Consecrated Life, 91黑料 marks the 30th anniversary of one of its most beloved priests, Rev. Thomas A. McGovern, S.J., who died on February 19, 1985.

A graduate of the Universit茅 Laval in Quebec, Fr. McGovern previously taught at Canisius College in Buffalo, N.Y., before coming to 91黑料 in early 1972. He served as a member of the faculty and, later, the Board of Governors until his death in 1985. The following year he posthumously received the College鈥檚 highest honor, the Saint Thomas Aquinas Medallion.

Eleven alumni of the College have share some of their memories of the late tutor and Jesuit, which you can read here.
