Saint Mary's Serves
12:45 p.m. at Regina Hall
Our history reveals one of the most distinctive features of Holy Cross: a commitment to respond to the needs of the time. Join us in carrying this commitment forward by participating in Saint Mary's Serves, a community-wide service project, partnering with the Sisters of the Holy Cross, La Casa de Amistad, St. Margaret’s House, The Food Bank of Northern Indiana, and the Sister Maura Brannick CSC Health Center. Serve alongside students, faculty, staff, and alumnae as we gather to celebrate 175 years, in the spirit of the Sisters of the Holy Cross. The one hour and 75 minute service blitz begins at 12:45 p.m. in Regina Hall.
Your families are welcome to join us in this day of service and celebration. There will be an area with children activities to keep them engaged and having fun!
RSVP by Monday, January 14, 2019
Students who register to serve will be entered into a drawing for special prizes including a class ring, gift cards to the Shaheen Bookstore, and a Saint Mary's branded Vera Bradley bag.
Liturgy: Feast Day of Blessed Basil Moreau
3:30 p.m. at the Church of Our Lady of Loretto
It’s fitting to begin our commemoration of 175 years on the feast day of Blessed Basil Moreau, who played an important role in the establishment of our College. Moreau presented the vision of education that guides us as he exclaimed that "the mind will not be cultivated at the expense of the heart." Join the campus community at 3:30 p.m. at the Church of Our Lady of Loretto, as we gather for a special mass that celebrates Blessed Basil Moreau and the lasting legacy of a Holy Cross education.
Space is highly limited so please RSVP by Monday, January 14, 2019
