FR. PAUL MARSHALL     

   

This has been a sad, difficult week. I know you join me in thanksgiving for the life of Paul Marshall and the lasting contributions he made to the Society of Mary and the Church.

I arrived back in the U.S. this morning. Paul's body will be flown to Columbus where Larry Glickler will receive it and prepare for the funeral on Saturday.

   

I deeply appreciate the help of the brothers in India for the many ways they made a challenging journey easier. Special thanks to Bros. Augustus Surin and Tom Oldenski, who were the first to find Paul last Thursday morning and who helped significantly during the first few days after Paul's death. The response of the Indian Marianists was deeply fraternal and caring.

Many thanks also to Pat Stephens, Bros. Tom Giardino and Bob Wiethorn, and Fr. Chris Wittmann for their efforts in managing logistics.

 

Here are the arrangements for Paul's funeral:

  

Saturday, July 26

9:30 a.m. Wake at Ascension Catholic Church in Kettering

11:30 a.m. Mass of Christian burial at Ascension; luncheon follows at River Caf�, UD River Campus, 1700 South Patterson Blvd.  

4:30 p.m. Burial at Queen of Heaven Cemetery, Mount Saint John

 

Lodging at Bergamo may be available for Friday and Saturday nights. Preference will be given to Paul's family and to brothers from out of town. Please contact Bro. Charlie Johnson for information.

Fraternally,  

Earlier this summer, administrators from Chaminade University of Honolulu and the University of Dayton signed an agreement that will enable qualified CUH students to obtain a doctorate in physical therapy or a master's degree in physician assistant practice from the University of Dayton.

It is gratifying to see Marianist universities build affiliations that strengthen the institutions and serve their student bodies.
