Prep for the Pope’s Visit to the US

Prepare for the Pope’s visit and check out our events right here at St. Mary!

Join Our Watch Party

As part of his visit to the United States, Pope Francis will address a joint session of Congress on Thursday, September 24, 2015 bringing together faith and politics. His address to Congress will be an opportunity to invite legislators to reflect on the U.S.’s response to those who are marginalized by poverty and injustice, especially migrants, those plagued by climate change, and workers treated unjustly while challenging all of us to live more fully the Gospel call to mercy and justice and promoting a culture of life.

St. Mary Student Parish will host a watch party in Donnelly Hall (9:30 – 11:00 AM) to view this historic event. If you are available, please stay after the Pope’s address for discussion and a call to action. All are welcome!

Ig.nite: Pope Francis Edition

Undergrads! Join us for a special edition of Ig.nite on Thursday, September 24th. Mass begins at 5:10 PM followed by dinner and a student-led panel discussion to react to Pope Francis’ address to the United States Congress. On theme with Pope Francis’ background, we’ll be serving a South American dinner specialty:

grilled skirt steak and chorizo sausage with chimichurri sauce,
empanadas, chipa rolls, and of course dulce de leche tiramasu!
