We are thrilled to welcome Sister Mary Catherine Hilkert to campus next week!

When students in Albertus' "Contemporary Christian Theology" course are invited to share which reading from the semester they find most helpful, many of them name the chapters we discuss from Sr. Hilkert's "Naming Grace."

In that book, she discusses how naming the presence of grace in the world helps us be changed by it. She writes, "Naming grace is no small matter. Bringing a deeper dimension of human life to awareness and conscious responsibility has serious implications. A change of perception or worldview is essential to a radical change of life" (47).

Join us at Founders' Day, as Sr. Hilkert and Albertus students, faculty, staff, and alumni name the grace present at Albertus as we begin our second century. Learn more at: albertus.edu/founders-day/

On the side of Rosary Hall, there is a quiet path that is lined with memorial and commemorative trees leading to a shrine to Mary. Two of those trees were planted to honor those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and their families.

As the country observes twenty-five years since that terrible day, we set out a flower beneath one of those trees. I found myself thinking about the first responders who run toward danger to serve others.

The Dominican Blessing ends with this petition: "May the angel of peace watch over us and lead us at last to the reign of God." On this day of remembrance, may we support the first responders and peacemakers who work toward a more just and peaceful world.

How it started... and how it's going!

Three years ago, the Meister Eckhart Contemplative Garden was constructed and planted. Since then, the garden has hosted countless spiritual workshops, class sessions, poetry readings, and receptions.

Most importantly, the garden serves as an oasis for students and community members looking for a meditative and prayerful outdoor space.

Next time you're on campus, stop in for a contemplative moment.

During Welcome Weekend, we joined our colleagues in Dominican Mission & Ministries in offering a session on Albert the Great, the college's namesake. We make the case that the statue that students walk past every day isn't just of somebody who lived hundreds of years ago, but a person who is relatable to us today.

Albert the Great was interested in many things (the sciences, philosophy, and the arts) and had a heart for service (forsaking the privileges of the bishop's carriage for a set of boots so that he could walk among the people). As we begin a new academic year, Albert is cheering for our students!

This morning, we hosted a coffee and treats gathering in the Meister Eckhart Contemplative Garden in anticipation of the Feast of St. Dominic. We prayed for inspiration from Dominic's example in the coming academic year and welcomed two new members of the Dominican Mission team at Albertus: chief mission officer Sr. Ellen Coates and campus minister Harrison Bell.

We look forward to collaborating with Sr. Ellen and Harrison in the Eckhart Center's sixth year!

Earlier this week, our director joined Albertus faculty and administrators at the Dominican Colloquium at Molloy University. We enjoyed rich conversations with sisters, faculty, and staff from other Dominican institutions around the theme "Veritas in the Modern World."

Presentations by Albertus faculty included a talk on A.I. and Dominican values by David Garaventa and a session on the Justice Panel with Robert Bourgeois, Edward Dunar, Ross Edwards, and Shiva Rezvan.
