John Carroll University Commencement 2011 Address

Timothy P. Kesicki, S.J., the Provincial Superior of the newly combined Chicago-Detroit Province, was John Carroll University's 2011 keynote commencement speaker.

Fr. Kesicki received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from John Carroll in 1984, and, in the same year, entered the Society of Jesus at Loyola House Jesuit Novitiate at Berkley, Michigan. His formation as a Jesuit included philosophical studies at Loyola University Chicago, theological studies at Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley, California, and studies in educational administration at Teacher's College in Columbia, New York.

From 1988 to 1991, Fr. Kesicki worked at the University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy, where he taught theology, directed the service program, and served on the pastoral team. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1994. After his ordination, Fr. Kesicki worked for a year at the Jesuit Refugee Service in Uganda, and then taught theology at Loyola High School in Detroit, Michigan, until 2000, when he moved to Saint Ignatius.

Congrats Tim on a marvelous Commencement Address, you made your fellow '84 alumni very proud. Congratulations too to all graduates! Welcome to a very proud group of men and women.

Tim your address brought back so many memories. My goodness, how I miss Fr. Schell but his spirit lives in you and in all the rest of us, whose lives he touched. Thanks for sharing that memory.

I must admit though you made me feel a bit guilty watching via YouTube instead of being present!
