Priest, chaplain, mentor, friend—Msgr. Provenza held many titles over his decades of service to our community. He worked across the Shreveport/Bossier community, in both civic and faith-based institutions, and will be remembered for making a home for Centenary College students. In honor of his stewardship, Centenary alumni and friends are establishing an "Endowed Scholarship in Memory of Monsignor Provenza" for qualified Loyola College Prep students seeking admission to Centenary College. With this endowment, Centenary hopes to support young, promising leaders who want to continue their education in a premier, Christian institution.
