“God of all good gifts, bless these men and the rings and pins they will wear. May these students, our juniors, always know the support and love of those who surround them; may they continue to grow into the person God is calling each of them to be.”
 
Those words were part of a prayer by Director of Campus Ministry Fr. Chuck Frederico, S.J., who blessed rings and pins distributed to our Class of 2026 during Wednesday’s Junior Awards Ceremony in Scaccia Auditorium.
 
The ceremony included the presentation of several special honors as well as the 2025 induction to Canisius’ Robert Bellarmine Chapter of the National Honor Society. It opened with a prayer by Elliott DeRose ‘26
 
Among the many awards were these special presentations:
 
* The Billy Hartigan Scholarship Award, established in memory of the 2008 graduate, was presented to Matthew Carver.
 
* The Mason Forever Scholarship, established in 2023 by the Monteleone Family in honor of the late Mason Sawyer Monteleone ‘18, was awarded to Rondel Fancher.
 
* The Richard J. Cobler Class of 1970 Scholarship was presented to Zach Benczkowski.
 
* The Francis B. Jenkins Class of 1939 Scholarship was awarded to Aidan Billman, Ethan Fronczak, Martin Cohn and Austin Xiao.
 
* The Donald P. Pinkel ’44 Endowed Scholarship was presented to Conor Whelan.
