All are welcome to join us at 11 a.m. on Sunday, November 1 in Rosary Chapel for our Memorial Mass.

As we commemorate 125 years of service and faith, we invite you to gather with us in prayer and remembrance as we honor departed loved ones. Brunch will follow the service immediately.

Community members are welcome to submit names in our Book of Remembrance, which will be part of all Masses celebrated in Rosary Chapel during the month of November. Please register and submit the names of your loved ones online at dom.edu/memorialmass. We hope you'll join us in remembering those who remain forever in our hearts.

This year marks Dominican University's 15th anniversary as a federally designated Hispanic Serving-Institution. To celebrate this milestone, we're throwing a special Quinceañera at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 9, in the Parmer Atrium!

The Center for Cultural Liberation and the Office of Hispanic-Serving Initiatives will host a celebration that is similar to traditional Mexican Quinceañeras, complete with food, music and a folkloric dance performance. All are welcome to join us!

We welcomed some furry friends to campus last Friday for a special pet blessing on the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi! 🐶 🐱

And of course, we had to ask what they're interested in studying! If your pet went to DU, what would they major in?! Let us know in the comments!
