I will always remember the Father's sermons, especially around the holidays when it was hard to be away from home. He also always gave me strength to study hard and "put the rest in God's hands."

Fr Quigley was a friend to every student that passed through UMASS/Amherst especially to the Army ROTC program. He performed the invocation at our formal functions and participated in many field training exercises. At Fort Devens Fr. Quigley (in his 60's) actually did practice jumps from the parachute tower!! He was a great American who helped win World War II. Thank you Fr. Quigley.
