Fr. Zusy, O.P. Philosophy Library


Today the Fr. Zusy Philosophy Library will be dedicated as the newest addition to the Cardinal Stafford Library.

Fr. Zusy, who died in 2000, was the first Philosophy professor at Saint John Vianney Seminary. Because of his love for the Seminary, Fr. Zusy asked that his books be kept for everyone to use and a small Philosophy Department library was created.

With the prompting of Sister Prudence Allen, the collection has been moved to the Cardinal Stafford Library and will be formally dedicated at 3pm today. Members of the local Dominican community, of which Fr. Zusy was a member, will be in attendance, including their Vicar Provincial for Ministry, Br. Edward Van Merrienboer, O.P.

Please come and join us if you can, or feel free to visit the collection which is located on the lower level of the stacks.
