Combining Faith with Education
Ongoing
On February 25, 1961 good friends Cassian A. Miles, OFM and Mychal F. Judge, OFM were ordained alongside other friars into the priesthood at the Mount St. Sepulchre Franciscan Monastery in Washington, DC. To mark the 50th anniversary of that day, Mychal’s Message is pleased to announce the Father Cassian A. Miles, OFM, Jubilee Scholarship Fund.
Father Cassian was born Francis Augustine Miles in Weekhawkin, NJ. He entered St. Joseph’s Seminary in Callicoon, NY in 1951, was first professed as a friar in 1955, and entered the Order of Friars Minor in 1958. With an early interest in journalism, it’s no surprise that Father Cassian then served the Holy Name Province Communications Office for 35 years, providing editorial direction for the award-wining The Anthonian magazine for much of that time. His service in the Order of Friars Minor also includes teaching English, Religion, and Adult Education.
It is evident to those who know and love Father Cassian that his steadfast faith and unwavering love of the Eucharist are integral parts of who he is: a daily communicant who has celebrated Holy Mass each day since his ordination, a friar who has dedicated his life to serving God and others, and a priest who has devoted years to parochial ministry.
Father Cassian also shares a passion to educate, evidenced by his early interest in writing, years spent teaching, his work with the Worldwide Marriage Encounter Program, and endless hours spent proofreading and editing the works of others.
Mychal’s Message is pleased to mark this 50th jubilee anniversary to the priesthood by combining the gifts of faith and education of Father Cassian A. Miles. With your help, the Father Cassian A. Miles, OFM, Jubilee Scholarship will be awarded annually to help provide a Catholic education to a student in need.
