Kevin Ryan: ‘I Have Never Been Prouder to Be a CUA Alumnus’

I was – and still am – so moved by [the Sept. 23] liturgy on campus. I have never been prouder to be a CUA alumnus. The Mass celebrated by Pope Francis on this campus I love was heart-opening, inspiring and joy-filled. Congratulations to [the CUA] team for organizing this spectacular day of worship and celebration, one that vibrantly brought to life the essence of our Catholic faith. CUA shone luminously for all the world to see its strength, its beauty and its mission.
