Celebrating 90 years of fellowship and faith

Two lives immersed in the Catholic faith — one whose life journey has led to becoming a bishop, the other about to be further shaped following college graduation in a few weeks – were recognized when SMU’s Catholic Campus Ministry celebrated its 90th anniversary with a dinner held at the Bush Institute on campus on Saturday, April 23. Bishop Greg Kelly provided opening remarks and the blessing.
Bishop Michael Duca — now leading the Diocese of Baton Rouge, La. — served as the campus ministry’s chaplain from 1985 through 1994 and was honored as this year’s winner of the Servant Leader Award. In the weeks before he was summoned to Rome 28 years ago to spend two years studying canon law, he started the process that led to the construction of the ministry’s now-27-year-old center at the corner of University Boulevard and Airline Road.

Seminarian awaits return to seminary in Ukraine

Francisco Moran said it was God’s will that motivated him as a 23-year-old working as an elementary school teacher’s aide in Navarro County to stand before thousands of people in Rio de Janeiro and publicly commit to pursuing a vocation in the priesthood. Seven years into his assignment to the Redemptoris Mater seminary in war-torn Ukraine, Moran sat in a dining hall at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and similarly said, “If it’s His will for me to go back, then with His will I’ll go back.”
