This special celebration will commemorate the Wednesday, June 23, 1982, visit by Mother Teresa to Walsh’s campus in North Canton. During her stay, she spoke to approximately 4,000 people in Canton and was awarded a Walsh University Honorary Doctorate of Human Services by Walsh’s third President, Brother Francis Blouin, F.I.C.
With the canonization of Mother Teresa by Pope Francis on September 4, 2016, Walsh University has become one of a select number of Catholic universities in the world that can count a Saint among its alumni.
Support for this event has been provided by J.W. Didado Electric, Gary & Rhonda Didado, and Tyler & Danielle Hysell.
