The Community Pays Social Tribute to Monsignor Lavin

Many community members are taking to social media to pay tribute to Monsignor James Lavin, who died Monday, Sept. 17, at age 93. Here's what some of you had to say. Post your own memories using #RIPFatherLavin.

Storified by · Wed, Sep 19 2012 08:05:25

A great man. If there was anybody who should jet straight to the top of heaven, it was this man. All of us who lived in Ireland Hall or were lucky enough to deal with Msgr. Lavin in any way, shape or form are better people because of it.

Father Lavin touched so many lives because he cared.

Sad day for UST and Ireland Hall alums with passing of Father Lavin today. Who could forget PBJs every Sunday night. He will be missed.

I'm pretty sure they serve pb & j sandwiches in heaven on Sunday nights...or they do now. Thanks for everything Father Lavin. You have no idea on how many 18-year-old kids you helped. http://www.twincities.com/ci_21563101?fb_comment_id=fbc_284520634982709_1245621_284544951646944

RIP Msgr. Lavin - very few people have ever positively impacted as many people on earth as he did.

The Peanut Butter Priest | University of St. Thomas · universityofstthomas

Our windows faced one another on the top and bottom bars of the capital "I" of Ireland on the 3rd floor in 2000-2001. Evidently we'd spy on each other quite often. He told me he liked the Christmas tree I put up that winter. As far as I could tell, his room was as cluttered as the one I shared.

Truly the end of an era. My freshman year at St. Thomas, I lived on his floor around the corner from his apartment.

I had the privilege of being on Ireland Hall's 4th Floor during my freshman year at St. Thomas, right around the corner from Fr. Lavin's room. Let's just say I consumed my fair share of "Lavin Burgers" that year...

The University of St. Thomas lost a great one today! Father James (yes, that was his first name) Lavin passed into heaven today. HE was the cornerstone of student life on campus since 1946. If you needed anything you could seek out Scooter and he would very willingly help you out. He was there for three generations of Flanagans and Mischkes. Oh, and nobody made a better PB&J sandwich. God bless, we will miss you Scooter.

iHeartUST because of the great faculty and guitar program!

Because the rooms and corridors are the extensions of our great church; there is a higher expectation when you walk the halls of God's house and UST students exceed that expectation.

We met at St Thomas in 2008, and were best friends throughout college. We graduated from undergrad at UST in the Spring of 2012. I stayed in St Paul to attend grad school at St Thomas and he moved to Milwaukee. We started dating the Spring of 2013 after I went to visit him during Jterm in Milwaukee. We visited the arches at St Thomas when we started dating. We got engaged shortly before I graduated from grad school at UST in Spring of 2014. We visited the arches again at the MN State Fair UST booth this last summer after getting engaged. On May 23rd, 2015 we are getting married in St Paul. We will be stopping by the arches on our wedding day for photos! · Katie Ryan

Class of 2004 and we are true Tommies. John and I met our first day of orientation and married right after we graduated. We now have four kids and old eldest, Tommy, is a testament to both where we met and the wise St. Thomas Aquinas. So glad we marched in and out of those arches together.
