Fr. McFarland to Serve His Last Midnight Breakfast

Recognizing that students stay up late to study during finals period, administrators at the College of the Holy Cross—including President Rev. Michael C. McFarland, S.J.—volunteer each semester to serve the scholars breakfast late into the night.

This will be the last time Fr. McFarland serves midnight breakfast. He is stepping down after a 12-year tenure. The event will be held Sunday, Dec. 11 from 9:30 p.m. – 12 a.m.

The menu includes popular breakfast items, such as scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage links, assorted bagels, Belgian waffles and topping bar, assorted juices and nightly specials.

Senior administrators and members of the Jesuit community will help Fr. McFarland serve breakfast:

Timothy R. Austin, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the College Rev. John Gavin, S.J., assistant professor of religious studies Rev. Paul F. Harman, S.J., vice president for mission Michael Lochhead, vice president for administration and finance Rev. Gregory Lynch S.J., associate chaplain Jacqueline Peterson, vice president for student affairs and dean of students Christopher Ryan, Jesuit novice Rev. John Savard, S.J., rector Frank Vellaccio, senior vice president
