IN MEMORIAM: BR. EDWARD GALLAGHER, FSC

Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live.” – John 11:25

St. John’s lost a beloved member of our community when Edward Gallagher, FSC, 93, passed away peacefully on December 17, 2023. Br. Ed served St. John’s as a teacher from 1953 to 1961, then as principal from 1992 to 1997, and finally as registrar from 1997 to 1999. He was kind, brilliant, funny, and an outstanding administrator and educator. Br. Ed taught freshmen at the old Arlie Mansion and said it was the greatest experience to teach freshmen without the influence of the upperclassmen.
