Happy 8th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood to our Chaplain, Fr. Derek!

Thank you for sharing your love for Christ and His Church with us every day. Whether you’re celebrating Mass on the hood of your Bronco, humbling us in Monopoly Deal, or simply filling the building with your laughter, your priesthood is such a blessing to this community.

We are so grateful for the joy and leadership you bring to our ministry and are blessed to have you as our Chaplain!

“The priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus.” -St. John Vianney

“Mary is Queen in her service to God for humanity, she is a Queen of love who lives the gift of herself to God so as to enter into the plan of man’s salvation. She answered the Angel: Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord” -Pope Benedict XVI

Our women’s group celebrated the month of May by crowning Mary and creating bouquets of flowers for her.

Goodbyes are tough, especially when God is at work! But even Jesus sent them out two by two! Pray for our missionaries as they leave Pitt State - while we will miss them, we know that OAGAAG!

It was great hosting our spring Greek Mass this week at Lambda Chi. Just as the early disciples devoted themselves to the fraternal life, please pray for our greek students as they strive to be witnesses to Christ on campus.

“Just as St. Peter Claver went down into the depths to bring people out, Jesus Christ came to save you and I. Today through the waters of baptism you are brought from the bows of darkness due to sin, into the light of the Risen Christ, and called to be witnesses like St. Peter Claver to the world.” -Homily on Divine Mercy Sunday

This past weekend we celebrated Divine Mercy Sunday and the baptism, confirmation, and first communion of Ben, Carolyn, Trey, Pat, Kyson, and Juli.

Jesus explains the grace of His mercy to St. Faustina in her diary:

“Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though his sins be as scarlet….Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the fount of My Mercy.” -Jesus to St. Faustina (Diary 699)
