On Saturday, June 3, 2023, the University of Detroit Mercy will celebrate the unparalleled career of Fr. Jerry Cavanagh, S.J., world-renowned as a founder of the field of Business Ethics.
The evening begins with Mass at 5 p.m. in the St. Ignatius Chapel, followed by cocktails and dinner at 6 p.m. in the Fitness Center on the McNichols Campus.
The evening will feature commemorative gifts, a silent auction (see auction items below), photos and videos of Fr. Cavanagh, and some very special announcements. Items to be auctioned include books by Fr. Cavanagh, original artwork by a world-famous artist, wine, theatre tickets, sports packages, golf outings, and more. All ticket holders will be invited to share stories, memories, and photos of Fr. Cavanagh with each other in a special tribute book, and all net proceeds will support our new Cavanagh Fund for Ethical Solutions to Social Problems—a project that Fr. Cavanagh himself proposed.
