A defining moment in the University’s history, it’s relocation
from its humble beginnings on Lewis Avenue to the sprawling
100-acre Hillcrest Country Club property in Queens in 1955, was
inspired by the vision and wisdom of former University treasurer
Rev. Thomas J. McCallen, C.M.
The McCallen Society - named in his honor - serves to thank Gift Planning donors who include St.
John’s in their estate plans. Members fulfill their philanthropic
goals by securing a future for loved ones and providing much-needed
funds to support facilities enhancement, scholarships, advanced
technology and innovative academic initiatives at the
University.
Membership
McCallen Society members receive The
McCallen Message, a quarterly estate planning newsletter,
invitations to estate and financial planning seminars and special
events held throughout the year and special recognition in the
annual Honor Roll of
Donors.
If you’ve already included St. John’s in your estate plan, we
would like to personally thank you and invite you to join the
McCallen Society, our planned giving society.
