DALLAS, 3/ 4/2019 - After years of begging, pleading, and grants, the multi-million dollar Cardinal Farrell Student Center at Holy Trinity Seminary was dedicated yesterday, though only an exclusive few were invited.

Volunteers and long-time Holy Trinity Seminary backers were hounded for the last few years by the seminary pleading for funds to build its new student center. An ad even ran in most parish bulletins last month begging for kitchen utensils for the new building.

However, when the time came for the building to be dedicated, the seminary newsletter did not announce it. No news post was made on the seminary’s website. Even today, there is no evidence of the dedication on the seminary’s Facebook page.

Apparently, only a select few were invited to the ceremony. Others who worked or gave to this building were not even notified.

The building came under controversy last year, when the #FarewellFarrell petition garnered hundreds of signatures calling for the building to be renamed. The petition argued that the building should be named after someone more worthy, since Cardinal Farrell had done little for the seminary during his time in Dallas. Reports indicate that most of the student body and faculty are unhappy with the name.

Noticeably absent from the dedication was Kevin Cardinal Farrell himself. The Cardinal previously made the trip to attend the dedication of the other UD building named after him.
