Let us pray in thanksgiving for the life of Fr. Gerald J. Sabo, SJ, who died on October 25, 2020, in University Heights, Ohio. He was 75 years old. May he rest in peace. bit.ly/FrGeraldSabo

Fr. Sabo, the son of immigrant parents from Czechoslovakia, graduated from Fairfield College Preparatory School and earned a bachelor’s from Fairfield University before joining the Jesuits in 1969.

He earned a master’s degree (1974) and a doctorate (1978) in Slavic languages and literature from Yale University and was ordained in 1980.

Fr. Sabo was a professor in the honors program at Boson College (1978-1981) and a professor at the College of the Holy Cross (1980). In 1981, he was missioned to John Carroll University where he worked for four decades until his death.

He was proud of his Slavic ethnic background. In 1977, he visited John Carroll University for the first time and fell in love with what he saw and heard about the university and “was very interested in teaching at John Carroll because it was a Jesuit school and was in an area where there was a significant Slovak population.”

Through his classroom presence and his multitude of stories, Fr. Sabo captivated the minds of his students while he taught Slovak, Russian, and Eastern European Literature in Translation. He enjoyed teaching, and many students took his courses only because he was teaching. One student noted, “He is a great guy and professor and seems tough but really is not and cares about students a lot “while another noted “I’ll let you in on a secret, he wants you to succeed.”

Fr. Sabo was a noted creature of habit. He loved to hold court at the breakfast table at Schell House sharing his vast knowledge and interests and thoughts on improving the world around him.

Please join us in giving thanks for the life of a great #Jesuit, Fr. Gerald J. Sabo, SJ, who has gone home to God. If you knew Fr. Sabo, please comment with a favorite memory of him.

Let us pray in thanksgiving for the life of Fr. Ma

Let us pray in thanksgiving for the life of Fr. Matthew T. Gamber, SJ, who passed away on October 16, 2020, in Cincinnati. He was 61 years old. May he rest in peace.

Before entering the Society of Jesus, Fr. Gamber graduated in 1977 from Loyola Academy and earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from Marquette University. He entered the Society in 1983 and was ordained in 1995.

After ordination and earning a master’s in journalism from Northwestern, Fr. Gamber was the assistant director for media relations and a journalism instructor at Xavier University and then associate director of campus ministry at Gonzaga University (2001-2004).

Fr. Gamber left higher education to become an associate pastor at St. Paul of the Cross Parish in Park Ridge, IL, (2004-2007) before becoming development officer at his alma mater, Loyola Academy (2007-2009).

After an internship at Vatican Radio in Rome and tertianship, he returned to pastoral ministry: He was an associate pastor at St Xavier Church in Cincinnati (2010) and at St. Walter Parish in Roseville, IL, (2011) before becoming a chaplain at Mount St. Joseph Home in Lake Zurich, IL (2012).

Fr. Gamber then decided to return to secondary education and taught for two years at Jesuit High School in Tampa (2012-2014). Realizing he had a pastor’s heart, Fr. Gamber was missioned to Cincinnati where he was appointed parochial vicar at St. Francis Xavier Church (2015-2020) before beginning his duties as a chaplain at St. Xavier High School in August 2020.

Fr. Gamber was a gifted journalist and writer. He was published in the National Catholic Register, Catholic World Report, and Catholic Herald. He loved accompanying youth around the globe to World Youth Days and was also a fervent supporter of the pro-life movement. Throughout his life, Fr. Gamber was a “connector,” who most enjoyed introducing friends to friends, and easily made friends with people from all corners of the world.

Please join us in giving thanks for the life of a great #Jesuit, Fr. Matt Gamber, SJ, who has gone home to God. If you knew Fr. Gamber, please comment with a favorite memory of him.

St. Isaac Jogues, one of the North American Martyr

St. Isaac Jogues, one of the North American Martyrs, went through a great ordeal in his missionary ministry, yet even when he escaped he chose to return out of love of Christ. @rossmannsj reflects on the life of Isaac Jogues and how he might be an inspiration to us when we've been knocked down.

Yoga Nidra is a simple yet powerful meditation of non-doing and progressive relaxation. Ignatian contemplation is a style of prayer that uses the imagination and engaging the senses developed by St. Ignatius.
