All are invited to attend this year’s DeKoven Day celebration on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, honoring the life and legacy of the Rev. James DeKoven—one of the most respected leaders of the Anglo-Catholic Movement and influential in shaping the modern Episcopal Church. This year’s event will feature a special focus on the newly released biography by John E. Magerus, James DeKoven: Biography of a Famous Yet Forgotten Man.John Magerus, former university professor and administrator, has, since retirement, actively pursued his passion for history. He has spent eight years immersed in the archives of the DeKoven Center, serving as head archivist. That work became the foundation for the first full-length biography of James DeKoven in over 125 years. The resulting book offers a compelling look at the life and legacy of this influential 19th-century Episcopal priest and educator in Wisconsin.
The day will begin at 1:00 p.m. with a Eucharistic service in St. John’s Chapel, followed by a reception and book signing in Taylor Hall featuring author, John E. Magerus. Admission is free, and copies of the book will be available for purchase.
