Maryanne Trump Barry, a judge on the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, detailed her donation to Fairfield University Wednesday at a press conference. A large portion of the money will fund the Center for Ignatian Spirituality.

Referring to Fr. Jeffrey von Arx, president of Fairfield, she commented, “I believe that, in founding the Center for Ignatian Spirituality in 2014, Fr. von Arx has assured that Ignatian spirituality will guide those at Fairfield and even worldwide, who seek the gift it so uniquely can provide, while it continues to inform and influence the environment of learning at Fairfield.”
