With deep sadness, we share the news of the passing of Monsignor Don Fischer on Pentecost Sunday.
Msgr. Fischer served as chaplain at the University of Dallas for 13 years, from 1973 to 1986, and was deeply beloved by our community and throughout the Diocese of Dallas. Among his most lasting contributions was his dedicated work in coordinating the fundraising and construction of our own Church of the Incarnation, a sacred space that continues to be the heart of our campus.
Please join us in praying for Msgr. Fischer and for the consolation of his family and friends.
Evening of Prayer Sunday, May 31 at 5 p.m. Church of the Incarnation, University of Dallas
Funeral Mass Monday, June 1 at 11 a.m. St. Joseph Catholic Church, 600 S. Jupiter Rd., Richardson, Texas, presided by Bishop Edward Burns, joined by Bishop Kelly and brother priests.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul rest in peace.
