Founder’s Day
Over 130 people gathered on June 24 to close our 175th
Anniversary Year with the Mass of the Solemnity of the
Nativity of John the Baptist. This is the exact day that
Archbishop John Hughes founded Fordham Prep. We were
honored to have The Very Reverend Timothy P. Kesicki, SJ,
the President of the Jesuit Conference of Canada & the
United States, join us to celebrate the Eucharist and
preach. A reception was held in the Commons and lobby
after Mass, where Fr. Kesicki was presented with a
Fordham Prep pullover.
