Dedicated to Community

Shaped deeply by our Benedictine values we strive in everything to create a “spirit of place” in which our guests feel welcome and our community feels at home. We invite all to enjoy our special campus spaces including our breathtaking Grotto, dedicated to Mary, the Mother of Jesus, the patroness and namesake of the university. Students, faculty, friends, alumni, and pilgrims from near and far are drawn to this sacred place to pray, find healing and hope, and draw closer to God.
