Bishop Robert Brennan returned to his alma mater this week as part of a celebration of St. John’s University’s Founder’s Week.
The bishop gave the homily at Sunday’s student Mass at St. Thomas More Church on the Queens campus.
The Mass is part of a series of events celebrating the school’s Vincentian heritage.
Founder’s Week coincides with the September 27th feast day of Saint Vincent de Paul, from whose work the university draws its mission.
Bishop Brennan graduated with the Class of 1984 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics.
He received an honorary Doctor of Sacred Theology in May of this year.
