 Rev.
Thomas P. Donovan, S.J., died Oct. 13 at the Campion Center, Weston, Mass., at
88. Prior to his retirement in 1991, Fr. Donovan had worked in local pastoral
ministry for many years and served as province director of the Apostleship of
Prayer, beginning in 1969.
Fr. Donovan entered the Society of Jesus in 1932. After
