by Thayne M. McCulloh, Ph.D. in Features
Dear Readers:
I am honored to have been asked to write a "Message of Welcome" for this first issue of the 2009-10 Gonzaga Witness. As I write, the first true signs of autumn are making themselves known even as the excitement of the first week of the semester continues.
Benedict XVI's Year For Priests

"The Love of the Heart of Jesus": Benedict XVI's Year for Priests
On the forthcoming Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Friday 19 June 2009-a day traditionally devoted to prayer for the sanctification of the clergy-, I have decided to inaugurate a "Year for Priests" in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the "dies natalis" of John Mary Vianney, the patron saint of parish priests worldwide.
