The TUS Alumni Office is delighted to invite alumni, staff, students, and friends to “An Evening with Fr. Shay- A Celebration of his Golden Jubilee”, taking place on Wednesday, 29th April from 6–8pm in the Douglas Hyde Theatre.

This special event marks 50 years since Fr. Shay’s ordination and offers an opportunity to reflect on the remarkable impact he has had on the TUS community over the decades. Known for his warmth, presence, and deep connection to students and staff alike, Fr. Shay has been a constant and valued figure in campus life.

The evening will bring together members of the TUS community from across generations to celebrate not just a milestone, but the relationships, memories, and moments that have defined Fr. Shay’s journey.

As part of the celebration, the Alumni Office is gathering stories, reflections, and photographs from those who have crossed paths with Fr. Shay over the years. These contributions will help to build a fuller picture of his legacy and ensure that the event reflects the many lives he has touched.

If you have a memory or photo you would like to share, we warmly encourage you to submit it to alumni@tus.ie.

The event is free to attend, but registration is required. You can secure your place via the event page here: An Evening with Fr. Shay- A Celebration of his Golden Jubilee.

We look forward to welcoming you for what promises to be a meaningful and memorable evening.
