  • 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”)!
