Gomes Memorial Service at 11 a.m. Tomorrow
•
Although Memorial Church continues to hold services, Rev. Peter J. Gomes is missed at his weekly sermons. Gomes, who is slated to return for the Easter sermon, is currently recovering from a stroke.
The University will hold a memorial service honoring the life of the late Reverend Peter J. Gomes at 11 a.m. tomorrow at Memorial Church in Harvard Yard. Gomes—who served as the church's minister and the Plummer Professor of Christian Morals for the past 35 years—died late February.
Former University President Derek C. Bok, current University President Drew G. Faust, and Massachusetts Governor Deval L. Patrick '78 will speak during the service.
Doors open at 10 a.m. though space is limited. The Church will have overflow space for those who cannot be accommodated in the Church. WHRB 95.3 FM will also broadcast the ceremony live, both on the radio and on its website, whrb.org.
