Villanova: Services Announced For Fr. Dobbin

Here is a special message from the President of Villanova University regarding funeral arrangments for past-president Rev. Edmund J. Dobbin, OSA:

March 9, 2015

Dear Alumni, Parents and Friends:

I wanted to provide an update on the funeral arrangements for Father Dobbin.
There will be a viewing on Friday, March 13 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and then from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in St. Thomas of Villanova Monastery Chapel. On Saturday, March 14 there will be a viewing in St. Thomas of Villanova Church from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. with the funeral mass immediately following. Father Dobbin will then be laid to rest in the Villanova University Campus Cemetery.

I anticipate that many in our community will want to pay their respects to Father Dobbin, so the mass will be broadcast in the Villanova Room of the Connelly Center to handle overflow from the Church.

For both Friday and Saturday, I ask that you park in the Main Lot and walk over to the Monastery and Church/Connelly Center (the Tolentine Lot will be reserved to accommodate attendees with special needs). We will provide continuous shuttle service from the Main Lot to campus.

Sincerely,
Fr. Peter Donohue, OSA
President
Villanova University
