Plans continue to be finalized for the upcoming Reunion in Atlanta. The dates are June 23-25, 2009. We will be staying at the JW Marriott Hotel in Buckhead…just a stones throw away from Archbishop Gregory’s home and the Cathedral. Our Tuesday night social will be in the home of Archbishop Gregory and our Wednesday Memorial Mass will be at the Cathedral. The Bum Run will be focused on Dr. Martin Luther King and President Jimmy Carter. This includes a visit to the Ebenezer Baptist Church and the birth home of MLK. A visit to the 70,000 sq ft. Carter Presidential Center will be another highlight.

At the Annual Meeting of the Alumni in Chicago, the Board of Governors presented an amendment to our Constitution to include the Institute for Continuing Theological Education (ICTE) graduates to be considered Alumni of the Pontifical North American College. It was passed unanimously and is now Section 2 of Article II. They will be listed separately as ICTE graduates but will receive the same rights and privileges as our PNAC and CASA graduates. Rev. Michael Wensing (SIOUX FALLS, CSM 1985) was introduced as the new ICTE Director.

Mr. Jim Doherty (INDIANAPOLIS, CLASS OF 1955) has had another stroke. This one has impeded his ability to transfer and walk independently as well as taken his short term memory.

Rev. Leo Walsh (ANCHORAGE, CLASS OF 1994-CASA 2008) received his STD in Ecumenical Theology at the Angelicum on June 18. He is Vicar for Clergy, Ecumenical Officer, Vocations Director, and Pastor of St. Andrew Parish in Eagle River, AK. In addition he is State Chaplain to the Knights of Columbus, Outgoing Chair of Catholic Social Services and Treasurer to the Catholic Association of Diocesan Ecumenical and Interreligious Officers. When he is not doing all that, he flies his float-equipped Citabria 7GCBC bush plane to many secret fishing holes in the Alaskan wilderness. Very Rev’d Dom Elias Matthew Carr (ARLINGTON, CLASS OF 1999) advises he went to religious life six years ago and after making his solemn profession in 2006 now has this religious name. He is currently studying at the Casa, working on his dissertation he hopes to finish in 2010. Rev. John B.

In Memoriam

Listed below are the names of our most recently deceased brother alumni. The Alumni Association has arranged for a Mass to be celebrated in the College Chapel for each of our deceased brothers. All alumni are encouraged to remember in prayer and at Mass our deceased brother alumni. (3) Holy cards were sent along with the 2008 Annual Directory this summer. News comes to us in very different ways about the passing of our alumni. Sometimes classmates are very good about sending in photographs and internet links to newspaper notices. Although not all the information we receive can be reprinted in the newsletter, it is all available on our website. We regret that space limitations do not allow us to give more ample obituaries of our alumni. For complete obituaries go to our website at pnac.org/alumni.
