Noble County students were honored by the Oklahoma State University Ferguson College of Agriculture with academic scholarship support for the 2026-2027 academic year. The scholarships were awarded at the 2026 Scholarship and Awards banquet, hosted by the Ferguson College on March 26.

These scholarships are part of the more than $1.8 million that students receive from the Ferguson College and its academic departments. Students from all areas of study are considered for college scholarships, which can be combined with departmental and university awards.

“Our students continuously showcase academic and professional success through their endeavors in the Ferguson College,” said Cynda Clary, associate dean of academic programs. “These scholarships, made possible because of the generosity of our alumni and friends, are a testament to our students’ success, and it is a privilege to recognize them.”

Holy Thursday commemorates the night Jesus shared his final meal with his disciples. On that evening, he gave us the gift of the Eucharist and demonstrated how to serve others by washing their feet.

I give you a new commandment, says the Lord: love one another as I have loved you.
-John 13:34

“Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me…”
-St. Patrick

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Saint Patrick was born in Roman Britain. When he was a teenager, he was captured by Irish pirates during a raid and was taken to Ireland as a slave.

His captivity lasted until he was twenty when he escaped after having a dream from God in which he was told to leave Ireland by going to the coast. There he found some sailors who took him back to Britain and was reunited with his family.

He was ordained by St. Germanus, the Bishop of Auxerre, whom he had studied under for years, and was later ordained a bishop and sent to take the Gospel to Ireland.

Patrick preached and converted all of Ireland for 40 years. He worked many miracles and wrote of his love for God in Confessions. After years of living in poverty, traveling and enduring much suffering he died March 17, 461.

Special shoutout to Saint Patrick Catholic Church OKC!

Saint Patrick, pray for us!
