Father Paul English, CSB presided and concelebrants were Father Dugan, Father Al Cylwick, CSB, Father Kevin Mannara, CSB, Father Morgan Rice, CSB, Father Norman Tanck, CSB, and Father Trovato. Father Tanck preached and in his homily, he noted that many Basilians who studied and worked at SJFC could trace the heritage of their faith back to Father Trovato including himself, Father English, Father Murphy and many others. Parishioners of Christ the King Parish, now St. Kateri Tekakwitha Parish, and members of the Fisher family were also blessed to have Father Trovato minister within their communities.<\/p>\n<p>The evening before, SJFC president, Dr. Gerald Rooney and his wife, Susan, hosted a dinner honouring Father Trovato and Father Dugan at the SJFC President\u2019s House. In attendance were Basilians who were in town for the celebrations along with Bishop Emeritus Matthew Clark, Sister Mary Ann Binsack, RSM, and Father Trovato\u2019s niece with her husband.<\/p>\n<p>Father Dugan, who also celebrates his 60th anniversary of ordination this year, spent 50 years in parish ministry in Mexico, where he ministered to the sick and delivered a successful program, \u2018Catequesis Familiar&#8217; to introduce families to the basic teachings of the Catholic faith. He retired in 2015 and currently resides in Rochester.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St. John Fisher College community celebrated the 90th birthday of two beloved and local
