By Terence P. Jeffrey, CNSNews - Born in San Mateo in 1911 and educated at St. Ignatius and the Univ. of San Francisco, Fr. Eugene Fahy was a brilliant man who left behind indisputable proof of his eloquence and courage. He could have been a prince of the city, one of San Francisco's most prominent and prosperous men. Instead he took a vow of poverty and devoted his life to God... He joined the Jesuits, went to China, was ordained a priest in Shanghai in 1945, and found himself in the district of Yangchow in 1949 — when the Communists arrived there... Their first target: the Jesuit school.
