    Sharing Our Marianist Stories

    In our 50th episode, we sit down with Fr. Jim Fitz, S.M., a man with much to celebrate.

    Fr. Jim recently marked his 50th Jubilee of ordination in 2024 and recently celebrated his 60th Jubilee of first vows in the summer of 2025. On top of that, he's preparing for his semi-retirement from his significant role as Vice President for Mission and Rector at the University of Dayton. Don't miss this conversation as Fr. Jim reflects on a lifetime of dedication, sharing stories from his experiences of formation, ministry, and leadership within the Marianist Family.
