Canisius Colleagues

by Sandra Estanek | Sep 8, 2023 | Faculty

Canisius Colleagues is an opportunity for members of the faculty and staff who want to learn more about what it means to work at a Jesuit institution.

Participants gather once a month over lunch to learn more about our Jesuit heritage and to discuss how our own work in whatever we do connects to our mission as a Jesuit institution and serves the students who attend Canisius. Cohorts meet either on Thursdays or Fridays from noon to 1:00.

The first sessions are on September 21 and 22. We have a few more spaces available. Contact Dr. Sandy Estanek, interim vice president for mission integration, at estaneks@canisius.edu or at Ext. 2760 if you are interested or would like more information.

Celebrate St. Ignatius and Canisius University

by Sandra Estanek | Jul 26, 2023 | Faculty

On Tuesday, August 1, the day after the July 31 feast day of St. Ignatius, we become Canisius University.

Canisius will celebrate both our founder and our future on August 1 with Mass followed by ice cream treats.

Mass will be celebrated with the Jesuit Community at 12:00 p.m. in Christ the King chapel. The celebrant will be our new chaplain, Rev. Fred Betti, SJ.

An ice cream truck will be providing an assortment of packaged treats at Frisch Circle (by the chapel) from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

We hope you’ll join us.
