A Message from the President of the University As a result of a cowardly and vicious series of terrorist attacks, our nation has been plunged into mourning. With men and women of good will throughout the world: ✢ we deplore these attacks; ✢ we commend the souls of the victims to the loving mercy of God; ✢ we pray for the families who mourn the loss of their loved ones; and ✢ we stand in awe of the heroic actions of the emergency service person- nel who made the supreme sacrifice to assist the victims of the attacks. As a community of faith, we also pray – and pray fervently – that God our Lord will strengthen us in this time of sorrow so that, guided by His wisdom, we will be able to build a world in which the reign of love overcomes hatred, suspicion and violence. In a special way, we wish to stand in solidarity with those mem- bers of our own University family whose lives have been changed forever by the tragic events of September 11. To them, we offer our heartfelt prayers and our constant support.

The University marked the Joseph M. McShane, S.J. National Day of Prayer and Remembrance on 14 September with a candlelight vigil on campus.

The “Alumni Bridges to El Salvador” is modeled after the faculty version of the trip begun last year by Brendan Lally, S.J., Rector of the Jesuit community at Scranton. Following are excerpts of reflections from two alumni who participated in the trip.

“The people of El Salvador are no different than we are. They, like us, have hopes and dreams. They dream of a world in which their children can live in peace, free from the terrors of war and “Perhaps my most vivid memory of this trip will be that of Rosa, our… poverty.… There is much work to be done in El Crispaz guide.

Patrick Cardinal O’Boyle, ‘17, H’67 After graduating from St. Thomas College in 1917, he left Scranton to attend St. Joseph’s Seminary in Yonkers, N.Y. He was ordained in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, N.Y., in 1921. A Place in the Sun In the years leading up to his appointment as Archbishop of Washington, the young Father O’Boyle was named Director of the Catholic Guardian Society of the New York Archdiocese, Assistant Director of the Children’s Division of New York Catholic Charities and Director of the Mission of the Immaculate Virgin on Staten Island, once the country’s largest child-care institution. He was subsequently appointed to various positions overseeing child welfare agencies and Catholic charities. In 1941, he was named a papal chamberlain with the title of Very Reverend Monsignor. In the throes of World War II, he organized relief service for refugees and war victims in 48 nations in Europe and Asia, spearheading the distribution of 66,500 tons of food, clothing and supplies in just three years. He was named the first Archbishop of the newly formed Archdiocese of Washington in 1947. It was the first time in the history of the American Catholic Church that a Monsignor was named an Archbishop without ever having been a Bishop. Within weeks of taking office in 1948, Archbishop O’Boyle began the desegregation of Catholic schools and churches in his jurisdiction.
