Rev. Demske Society
REV. JAMES M. DEMSKE '47, S.J. SOCIETY
Established in 1982, the Rev. James M. Demske ’47, S.J. Society honors all those who include the college in their estate plans. Through their foresight and generosity, members of the Rev. Demske Society help ensure the strength of Canisius College for generations to come by supporting scholarships, developing programs, enhancing campus buildings and increasing student opportunities.
HIS TROMBONE PLAYS ON 
An avid trombonist, Father Demske often delighted the Canisius College and Western New York communities with his performances. For this reason, the trombone is used as the symbol of the Demske Society and distinguishes our alumni and friends who have included Canisius in their estate plans.
