US college campus demonstrations

At Villanova University, a “Gaza Solidarity” event has been scheduled by the campus chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine for noon next Tuesday. It’s being described by the chapter as a “disruptive yet peaceful action,” whose members ask participants to “please wear your mask and wear all black.”

Rev. Peter M. Donohue, OSA, Ph.D.

President, Villanova University

Dear Father Donohue,

With all due respect, on behalf of tens of thousands of Villanova alumni, both living and deceased, we pray that the chaos that is occurring at some colleges and universities in the US, will not spread to Villanova.

I humbly suggest that you could alert Villanova's faculty, police, and students (including the seminary and Law School) of the Inquirer report and ask them to participate with you in a counter, peaceful demonstration--surrounding the demonstrators and leading the counter demonstrators in a rosary. These counter demonstrations could apply to any future demonstrations that violate Villanova's principles of "Unitas, Veritas and Caritas". 

Mary, Mother of Jesus, pray for you, and pray for Villanova.

Sincerely,

Ray Koenig
