Biography
Father Horace McKenna, S.J., served as a luminous presence in Washington, D.C., where he championed the rights of the poor and helped found organizations like the S.O.M.E. outreach and the House of Ruth, bringing Jesuit principles of social justice to practical service.
He spent decades living among those in need, urging the faithful to respond with generosity, and the Georgetown University Jesuit Community Cemetery now shelters his memory as a sign of relentless love.
