St. John's University's 11th Annual Founder's Week celebration
kicked off on January 24 with a special Mass celebrated by Rev.
Donald J. Harrington, C.M., President of St. John's. Founder's Week
celebrates the University's Vincentian heritage and the continuing
influence of St. Vincent de Paul on the mission of St. John's. This
year's theme is, "Building Communities of Hope."
During his homily Fr. Harrington noted this was the first
Founder's Week Mass celebrated in the University's new St. Thomas
More Church. It will also be the site of the annual Vincentian
Convocation to be held on January 26.
