Invitation for a memorial event honoring Rev. Joseph T. O'Callahan, S.J. on the 50th anniversary of his death. Father O'Callahan was a professor at the College of the Holy Cross, and also served as a Navy chaplain during World War II. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroic actions aboard the USS Franklin when it was attacked during the war.

The memorial event was sponsored by The O'Callahan Society. It included a memorial Mass, wreath laying ceremony at Father O'Callahan's grave in the Jesuit cemetery and a presentation by Dr. John Satterfield.
