The monks of Saint Martin's announce with sadness the passing to God of Fr. George Seidel, OSB at the age of 94. A member of our monastic community for at least 73 years, and beloved professor of philosophy for over 60 years, Fr. George passed quietly in the company of his confreres and close relatives around midday on Saturday, June 6.

The vigil for Fr. George will be Friday, June 19, at 7:30 p.m., with the funeral mass and burial to follow the next day, June 20, at 10:30 a.m.

What does advocacy and service look like in practice?

For students in Saint Martin’s University’s, it meant stepping beyond the classroom and into communities where compassion, advocacy and human dignity are lived every day. Through presentations on nonprofit organizations and reflections on a service immersion experience at Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, students explored the transformative power of community engagement.

At Homeboy Industries, students encountered a model rooted in kinship, healing and second chances—one that supports formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated individuals through job training, education, mental health services and community support. These lessons reflect Saint Martin’s Benedictine values of hospitality, community, respect for persons and service to others.

By connecting academic learning with real-world experiences, students deepened their understanding of social responsibility, servant leadership and the role each person can play in building a more just and compassionate society.
