Mass and Brunch Celebrates Fr. Kelly’s Legacy

On Saturday, December 1, over 70 alumni, friends and family members gathered at Saint Peter’s University for the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the Life and Legacy of Rev. Joseph A. Kelly, S.J., HA ’05.

As Rev. Rocco Danzi, S.J., vice president for mission and ministry, mentioned during Mass, Fr. Kelly was a “priest, mentor and friend” to all whom he encountered. Saturday’s Mass and reception served as a testament to an individual who made an impact at Saint Peter’s.

It was wonderful to reconnect with friends over shared memories of Fr. Kelly. It was especially gratifying to hear from current students and Joseph A. Kelly, S.J. HA ’05 Memorial Scholarship recipients Rebecca Delbert ’19 and Patricia Perea ’19. You can view photos from the event by clicking here.
