Statement from the St. Francis Xavier University Alumni Association on the passing of The Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, StFX Class of 1959

“The StFX Alumni Association is deeply saddened by the passing of an esteemed alumnus of StFX University and a distinguished Canadian leader, former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, class of ’59.

PM Mulroney’s unwavering dedication to StFX transcended mere loyalty; it was a testament to his profound commitment to excellence, service, and community, values we hold dear as Xaverians. As an advocate for StFX, his contributions were immeasurable, steering pivotal efforts on the national and international stage that have left an indelible mark on the legacy of our alma mater.

His tireless work and passion have paved the way for generations of Xaverians touching every corner of our institution, from raising millions in support of student scholarships and bursaries and academic programming, to aggressively campaigning on behalf of the university to ensure access to world-class facilities and opportunities for learning and growth. His efforts not only enriched the institution but also serve as a beacon of inspiration for all who have had the privilege of calling StFX home.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Mulroney, their children Caroline, Ben, Mark, and Nicolas, and the entire Mulroney family during this difficult time. May they find comfort in the fact that his positive impact will be felt for years to come, evidence of the great influence of a true Xaverian.”
