“We are very grateful to you for that beautiful statue which will remind us of these very important elements of our life and hopefully infuse our own students as they pass that statue every day.”

Those were the closing words of the homily by Assistant to the President Fr. Richard Zanoni, S.J., today as we celebrated a special Mass with members of the Class of 1973 and dedicated our new statue of St. Ignatius of Loyola. 

Following Mass in the CHS Chapel of the Sacred Heart, there was a blessing and dedication of the statue on a beautifully sunny day at 1180 Delaware Ave. 

The statue is a gift of the Class of 1973, which chose to dedicate its Golden Jubilee 50th Reunion Class Gift towards a statue of St. Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus. The class exceeded its goal in raising more than $90,000 for its Class Gift. 

“Thank you for this very tangible reminder of who we are,” President Fr. David Ciancimino, S.J., said in his closing remarks after Mass. “Thank you for that reminder, and all you have done and continue to do before Canisius High School.”

The statue is a physical reminder for everyone who spends time on campus of our call to be Men and Women For and With Others, and to Pursue Excellence in our daily lives.
