Father McShane introduced Dr Stephen Freedman, the new Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Chief Academic Officer. After explaining the recent decision of the Union of British Academics to endorse a Palestinian trade union’s call for a boycott of Israeli academic institutions, Father McShane noted his respectful disagreement with this action. He informed the Senate that this summer he had signed two documents, one a petition circulated by Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, another by the American Jewish Committee, so as to make clear that Fordham University stands in solidarity with Israeli academics and those who affirm the principles of academic discourse.

    Funeral Arrangementsfor Fr. Joseph Koterski, SJ

    Funeral arrangements for Fr. Joseph Koterski, S.J., who went home to the Lord on August 9th, 2021. Mass of Christian Burial: Tuesday, August 17, 11:00 AM Fordham University Church Viewing: 9:30—11:00 AM. • Priests who wish to concelebrate should vest by 10:30 AM in the lower Church. Deacons may also vest there. • To be admitted to the Fordham campus and attend the Mass or viewing, proof of vaccination against Covid-19 must be shown to campus security. Fr. Koterski was a highly regarded philosophy professor at Fordham University with many publications on moral and theological topics and a Jesuit who had a heart for forming priests in the Catholic intellectual tradition. For many of our seminarians at Douglaston and Dunwoodie, he was either an engaging lecturer or a cherished spiritual director. And for some he was both. Please pray for this great priest- scholar, a son of Saint Ignatius of Loyola who gave his all— ad majorem Dei gloriam (“for the greater glory of God”)!

    October 2019 Celebrating the newest Deacon in our diocese This past August, family, friends and clergy gathered at St. Francis Xavier Parish in Renfrew to witness the ordination of Michael Coyne of Renfrew to the Transitional Diaconate. The son of Donald and Eleonore Coyne, he was born in North Bay, where he lived for only 6 years whereupon his family relocated to Carleton Place. In due course, his family would move to his father’s ancestral birthplace of Renfrew. Deacon Coyne had been active in his faith via the local parish in Carleton Place. “I was an altar server at St. Mary’s Church in Carleton Place for many years growing up,” said Deacon Coyne. Deacon Coyne noted that parish priest, Father Peter Murphy, was a positive force in his life. “Father Murphy was a close friend to the family, and he was a frequent guest at our home for meals. He had a large personality and for me that was fascinating to observe as a child. I considered Father Murphy to be a mentor to me. When I was a boy he was always available to answer my questions about what it was like to be a priest.” Call to faith From an early age, Deacon Coyne felt the pull to something greater beyond the superficial reality of life. “I believe that I have always felt to some degree, even as a child, a call to something beyond what I was physically experiencing in the world around me,” said Deacon Coyne. “This feeling was the catalyst that first impelled me to seek out the advice of my pastor to understand what a call to priesthood meant.
