Why Fr. Gerry’s Decade of Service Matters
Over the past ten years, Fr. Gerry has been more than the Catholic chaplain at Syracuse University: he has been a mentor, community-builder, shepherd, and presence of Franciscan compassion among students, alumni, staff, faculty and their families.
The Need for the Fund
While Fr. Gerry’s presence will be deeply missed, the programs, relationships, and spiritual groundings he has established are too precious to let fade. This fund will not replace Fr. Gerry’s role at the SU Catholic Center, but it will help ensure that his roots remain strong—deep, nourished, and flourishing—long into the future.
Every gift—no matter the size—counts and will be gratefully recognized. We can discuss naming opportunities, progress reporting, and how you might see your gift at work over time.
Our goal is to raise $500,000 in five years.
Fr. Gerry’s decade among us has planted seeds of faith, community, generosity, and spiritual nourishment. With your support, we can ensure those seeds continue to bear fruit for generations of students, staff, and the broader Syracuse Catholic community.
