Dr. Lee, the Board of Trustees, and the Steering Committee of the Farewell to Fr. Lucey fundraising efforts are pleased to announce generous donors have contributed more than $1M for St. Joseph Chapel in honor of Rev. Gregory F. Lucey, S.J.

Although we were not able to celebrate Fr. Lucey’s departure in person, our dedicated alumni and community members continue to give to St. Joseph and Sodality Chapels in his honor.

While President from 1997-2009, Rev. Greg Lucey, S.J. revitalized the College with renovations and developments throughout campus including the restoration of St. Joseph Chapel, the heart of campus. During his time here on the Hill, Fr. Lucey formed spiritual relationships with students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the Spring Hill community. 

Upon his departure to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in July 2020, the Spring Hill College community submitted tributes and photos to honor his legacy and their friendship. This video captures only a few of the tributes for Fr. Lucey.

We are all sincerely grateful to Fr. Lucey, his leadership, vision, and the relationships he formed. Our gratitude extends to all who support our Catholic heritage, our centuries-old Jesuit tradition of educational excellence, and our Jesuit mission and identity.
