The Jubilee Liturgy was concelebrated by Fathers Daniel Danik, Albert Berner, William Brogan, Edward Doran, Gerald Leclerc, William Morris, and Msgr. James Burke at the main chapel of the Center. During the liturgy, Brother Ben Consigli, Provincial, spoke of these Brothers? dedication ?to making Jesus Christ known and loved? for the thousands of students and colleagues who have been touched by their lives over these many years.

Following the liturgy, a celebratory luncheon was served at the center?s dining hall where our Jubilarians were praised for their faithful service to the people of God.
