\"Group<\/a>More than 60 people gathered at Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University on Sunday, June 14 to celebrate the 55th<\/sup> reunion of the Class of 1960.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe come back today to share the gift of our journey \u2014 especially our college years \u2014 and to give thanks for the Jesuits and lay professors who touched our lives,\u201d said Marty Walsh \u201960, chair of the Class of 1960 reunion committee.<\/p>\n

The reunion began with a moving Mass of Remembrance, which included a special candle lighting ceremony for the 41 classmates who had passed away since the class last gathered for a reunion in June 2010. An additional candle was also lit to honor the deceased classmates who remain unknown at this time.<\/p>\n

Following the Mass, attendees enjoyed a celebratory brunch in The Duncan\"DSC_0732\" Family Sky Room where Walsh and Frank Kilkenny \u201960 provided thoughtful reflections and presented the class gift to Eugene J. Cornacchia, Ph.D., president of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s University.<\/p>\n

As of June 15, $216,316 was raised for the class gift with $95,420 in cash and pledges toward the newly created Class of 1960 Endowed Scholarship. The scholarship will support a student who has financial need, is in good academic standing and is involved in an activity, club, athletic sport or community service.<\/p>\n
