Easter Season at Fordham
To our Beloved Fordham Students and Community:
We are entering into the holiest days of the Church calendar: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter. These days are the bedrock for Christian faith, on which all else hinges. As the Church celebrates virtually these holy events, Jewish communities will be observing Passover, which recalls the liberation from slavery of the Jewish peoples.
Let us enter into these holy days, mindful of the gift and call of our Faiths – that we are called into freedom and light! Know that all of us in Campus Ministry will be holding you in our hearts and our prayers as you journey through these holy days. May you and your families be safe, be healthy, and be blessed with peace.

Director of Spiritual and Pastoral Ministries at Fordham
