FLYNN

Retired Archbishop Harry J. Flynn passed away on September 22. He was 86 years old. Born in 1933, Flynn was orphaned at age 12. Much of his early education came from the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. In 1994, he became the seventh Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis and a Trustee at St. Kate’s.

Archbishop Flynn was an ardent supporter of education; presiding over the installation Mass for former St. Catherine University president Andrea Lee, IHM, he said, “Few things in this world are more important than working to educate others, and to learn more about the world we live in whether for general knowledge and interest or for a degree and a career; this is all part of God’s plan for us.”

When he retired in 2008, St. Kate’s established the Archbishop Harry J. Flynn Endowed Chair for Catholic Identity. St. Kate’s also bestowed the St. Catherine Medal of Honor on Archbishop Flynn, recognizing his national leadership in the Catholic Church and his pastoral leadership within the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis.

CHARLES “CHUCK” DENNY

Charles “Chuck” M. Denny, Jr., trustee emeritus and longtime friend of St. Catherine University, passed away on October 4. The Denny family ties to St. Kate’s are strong and deep. Chuck’s grandmother, Mary Rahilly McCahill, was St. Kate’s first lay trustee in 1919; his mother, Mary Eleanor McCahill Denny, graduated from St. Kate’s in 1926. Chuck served on the Board of Trustees starting in 1984, chairing it from 1988 to 1991, and was named a trustee emeritus in 1994.

Many gifts shared by the Denny family can be found all around St. Kate’s, including the Eleanor McCahill Denny Prize for Distinction in Writing, the Carol Easley Denny Development Fund, the Carol Easley Denny Award Fund, and the Mary E. McCahill Memorial Prize. Chuck was recognized over the years as a Friend of the Library, McHugh Society member, a President’s Forum member, and he was honored among the “Centennial 100” as one of the most influential people in the first 100 years of St. Kate’s history. MARGUERITE HESSIAN-GATZ ’49

Marguerite HessianGatz ’49, faculty emerita of nursing, known fondly by many nursing students as Sister Joan Arthur, CSJ, passed away peacefully on October 24. She was 94 years old. Marguerite entered the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet in 1943 and took the name Sister Joan Arthur. She taught nursing for over 30 years, serving as chair of the department and on the St. Mary’s Junior College Governing Board before retiring in 1988. Marguerite continued to support the nursing programs as a professor emerita for an additional eight years. Former students fondly recalled her outstanding leadership, sense of humor, compassion, and visionary commitment to the nursing program that she helped grow from a simple diploma program to a full degree.

In 1990, friends and family of Marguerite established the Marguerite Hessian Nursing Scholarship, which provides financial assistance for nursing major students enrolled at St. Kate’s. Marguerite’s dedication to her teaching and students was recognized in 2007 with the Myser Award for Teaching Excellence.

All are welcome at St. Catherine University’s annual Memorial Mass, which celebrates the lives of those who have died. Join us at Our Lady of Victory Chapel on Sunday, October 25, 2020.
