It’s Giving Hearts Day! 💙

Today, our Marauder community comes together for something bigger than all of us. In just 24 hours, we can open doors, create opportunities, and support students who are called to lead and serve.

Every gift matters. Every heart counts. Let’s show what this community can do.

Today the University of Mary is at the State Capitol spreading awareness for Giving Hearts Day! Mark your calendars for February 12!

Founded in 2023, AVØRA is a five-member acappella group based in Bismarck and made up of University of Mary alumni Rachel, Rachel, Dominick, Josef, and Kolbe. Rooted in harmony, friendship, and original music, AVØRA is dedicated to creating powerful musical experiences that bring the community together through the art of vocal performance.

Now, they’re bringing that passion to the stage at the Belle Mehus.

📍 Belle Mehus
🗓 Sunday, January 4
⏰ 3:00 PM

Once a Marauder, always a Marauder—come support our alumni as they share their love for music and a sound that’s uniquely their own. Tickets are available at avorasings.com or at the Belle.

We are excited to host alumni and friends at the 5th annual Ca****la by Candlelight Concert at the Cathedral of Saint Paul and Dinner at the James J Hill House!

Alumni in the Twin Cities are warmly invited to join us for an evening of sacred music featuring Ca****la, the University of Mary’s chapel choir, alongside the Boom Island String Quartet and talented choirs from Catholic high schools across the region. Experience the beauty and radiance of Advent on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at the Cathedral of Saint Paul.

The 7:30 p.m. concert is free and open to all; free-will offerings are gratefully welcomed.
