Before there was a St. Mary’s chapel, six Aggie cadets were making a twelve-mile roundtrip walk to Sunday Mass in Bryan.
Their faith inspired Father Gleissner to bring Mass to campus. Years later, on October 7, 1926, ground was broken for the original St. Mary’s chapel, dedicated to the Blessed Mother. We’ve celebrated our parish feast day on Our Lady of the Rosary ever since.
Today, exactly 100 years after that groundbreaking, we celebrate a story that still centers on Jesus.
Generations of Aggies have encountered Him here in the Sacraments, learned to pray, and found friendships that helped them grow in faith. They have carried that faith into their families, workplaces, and parishes, continuing our mission of forming apostles for the Church and the world.
Will you join us in praying for our students, that they may come to know Jesus, grow in faith, and carry His love into the world?
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!
