CUA Observes the Year for Priests
Pope Benedict XVI designated June 19 as the start of Annus Sacerdotalis, the Year for Priests, to encourage a deepening of the spiritual life of those called to priestly ministry. CUA is observing the Year for Priests with a new Web site and a major academic symposium Oct. 6 and 7. | |
Doesn't this landmark look familiar? Homecoming and Reunions Weekend 2009 is just two months away, and alumni from across the country will be returning to campus to join in the fun. Michael Blake, B.M.E. 1989, will be there to celebrate his 20-year reunion — and he can't wait to "C.U. at Home!"
We'd love to "C.U." holding one of these signs at a location near you! To print a copy of the "C.U. at home" sign, click here (link opens a new .pdf document). Then take a photo in front of your favorite off-campus backdrop (Walt Disney World? Times Square? Be creative!) and e-mail it to cua-alumni@cua.edu. Selected entries will be included in upcoming newsletters as we count down the days to Homecoming and Reunions Weekend, Oct. 23–25, 2009.
