Spirit THE IN AGGIELAND St. Mary’s Catholic Center at Texas A&M University Sawing the Horns off Satan Since 1904™ SPIRITUAL & FISCAL REPORT 2010-2011 From the desk of Fr. David Howdy and thank you for your support of St. Mary’s. When I look back over the last year, I have two reactions: (1) Wow! I don’t know where the time went but it sure went fast; (2) I’m glad that God is on our side because none of this would have been possible without his help—and much of that help comes through your prayers and financial support. The year got off to a BIG start with the largest Welcome Weekend retreat for incoming freshmen and transfer students ever—225 retreaters. This year we are offering the retreat twice because we just can’t fit any more students in the Activity Center. Thank you and please thank your pastors for publicizing the retreat. Word-of-mouth and parish bulletins are how incoming students find out about us. We also started the last school year with 100 of our student ministry leaders gathering for a leadership development workshop. We were also blessed by the participation of students and staff from three other Catholic campus ministry programs. They came to learn how St. Mary’s forms student leaders, and wanted to take this knowledge back to their campuses. Another blessing over the last year was a Longhorn in our midst. Kevin Jackson, a seminarian from the Austin Diocese, spent his pastoral year with us. He quickly adjusted to Aggie ways, and we quickly learned to love this “enemy” very much. We’ll miss him! Well, I’ve written a bit, but just covered the first few days before school started! Please see the rest of the report for more news. One final note—because I know you all care about the future of the Catholic Church. Ten Aggies will enter the seminary or begin formation for religious orders this fall. Through your prayers and financial support to St. Mary’s, you gave them a place where they could hear and answer God’s call. Thank you! Gig ‘em Aggie Catholics! Take Note of Our New Mass Times! SATURDAY SUNDAY 12:30pm (Korean) 5:30pm (English) 7:15pm (Spanish) 8:00am (English) 10:00am (English) 12:00pm (English) 5:30pm (English) 7:15pm (English) About the Cover: There is no such thing as too many Catholics! Take the average number of daily Mass attendees (200) and add Welcome Weekend retreaters and staff (360). The result is that the first level of the church is full! This photograph highlights two great blessings over the last year: (1) Mass attendance is up, The Chrism Mass for the Austin Diocese was an occasion for the Aggie priests to show both daily and weekend; (2) their school spirit. With many more Aggie priests in other dioceses and religious orders, More and more students are it is only a matter of time before maroon becomes a liturgical color. beginning their college lives at the Welcome Weekend retreat for incoming freshmen and transfer students. Welcome Weekend is a way for new students to quickly connect with their Catholic “homeaway-from-home” and make friends who will influence them in positive ways. The retreat was so successful that we opened another session this fall to accommodate the “demand.” Impressive Group of Aggie Priests The Spirit in Aggieland 2 www.aggiecatholic.org Spirituality Spreading the Good Word Former CSA President Enters Formation for the Jesuits Everybody knew Tucker Redding ’06 during his time at Texas A&M University! Tucker was elected president of the Catholic Students Association (CSA) and was employed by St. Mary’s, first in the parking lot and later in the Development Office. As much as he loved his student jobs, Tucker’s true passion was retreat ministry, and he led many retreats as a member of St. Mary’s Youth Retreat Team (SMYRT). After graduation, Tucker accepted a job as the youth minister of St. Justin Martyr Parish in Houston, led retreats for Catholic high schools, taught a retreat training class for the Archdiocese of GalvestonHouston, and served on planning teams for archdiocesan retreats. Tucker, along with other former SMYRT members, established Resonate Ministries Inc., a non-profit retreat ministry. It seems that God may have still other plans for “our” Tucker. This fall he will begin formation for the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). Expressing his appreciation for Aggie Catholic campus ministry, Tucker said, “I could never have imagined that my involvement at St. Mary’s would lead me down this path. I am grateful to all the benefactors who made this journey possible.” Wherever this adventure leads, we send our prayers and support! Aggie Sisters Make First Vows Sister Amata Filia (Laura Dierschke ’04) made her first vows as a Sister of Life in August 2010. In addition to poverty, chastity and obedience, her community makes a fourth vow to protect and enhance the sacredness of life. Sister Rose Marie of the Merciful Heart of Jesus (Shannon Schoppe ’07) made her first vows as a Passionist Nun on July 1. The vows of the Passionists are to promote devotion and grateful remembrance of the passion of Jesus, chastity, poverty, obedience and enclosure.

The topics were: relationships with men; self and body image; and purity and modesty. To keep the atmosphere casual, the discussions were held in two locations, their convent home and the common area of a dorm. The evening began with an informal presentation by one of the sisters, followed by an open discussion on the topic. Carolyn Leatherman ‘12 explained that the program allowed Catholic women to meet in an open, relaxed and trusting environment, “We were able to share our struggles and life experiences, while affirming and helping each other understand what it means to be a woman of God.” Come ONE Come ALL SEPTEMBER 25 Growing in Trust and Improving Our Prayer Life How do I know God’s will for my life? What is the next step I am called to take? How do I recognize when God is speaking to me? OCTOBER 16 Journey of Purification Through Virtues and Healthy Detachments Learn Holy Decision-Making This Fall We face these questions throughout our lives. To help discover the answers, the Apostles of the Interior Life Sisters invite you to “Talks on Discernment” on four Sunday afternoons this fall. The dates coincide with Aggie home football game weekends! Non-student visitors to Texas A&M and others in the community are especially invited. Whether you can attend one talk or all four, come learn how to hear and respond to God’s voice in your life! FOR MORE INFORMATION: Sister Raffaella Cavallin, [email protected] or (979) 846-5717 ext 141 The Spirit in Aggieland 4 NOVEMBER 20 Discerning Consolations and Desolations DECEMBER 4 Discerning Between True and False Consolations Each session will be held at St. Mary’s Catholic Center from 2:00-4:30 pm on the above mentioned dates. ALL ARE WELCOME! www.aggiecatholic.org Social Ministry Spreading the Gospel Through Service Student organizations sponsored by St. Mary’s make service to others a priority. It would be impossible to list all the good they do for the Catholic Church and the community. Whether it is participating in Texas A&M’s Big Event, collecting food for the needy, or donating blood, you can be sure that Aggie Catholics are involved, and are even leaders in these efforts. The skills the students learn in organizing and participating in these projects goes with them when they graduate—to their parishes, communities and chosen professions. The following are just a few of the ways Aggie Catholics have given of themselves to help others. Aggies Serving Another Person (ASAP) cleaned up a two-mile stretch of highway. Each week, Aggies Serving Another Person WHOOP! (ASAP) organized one or two service outreach efforts including: working in a soup kitchen, playing BINGO and praying the rosary with senior citizens in a nursing home, and helping at the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store. ASAP also cleaned up a two-mile stretch of highway. Each semester, Aggie Catholics volunteered for the day at Down Home Ranch, a residential, working ranch for adults and children with Downs Syndrome and other disabilities. The students helped with the preparation of raised beds for the vegetable garden and prepared spring flower baskets. The most popular service trip was on Halloween, when 20 students had fun with a cookie-baking competition, a pumpkin race, and carving faces on the surviving pumpkins. Instead of the beach, 11 Aggie Catholics headed for the mission fields during Spring Break. Accompanied by Aggie Father Charlie Garza ‘02 from San Jose Parish in Austin, they met up with the Missioners of Christ in Comayagua, Honduras. In addition to working hard on the trip, the students worked hard to raise the funds for their travel. Although Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, there is still much work to be done in New Orleans. A group of 11 Aggie Catholics spent their Spring Break helping in the reconstruction effort. Hoedown Raises Funds for Pro-Life Organization On Saturday, April 2, Kappa Theta Beta (KTB) Catholic Sorority, Aggie Knights of Columbus Council 10624, and the Catholic Students Association hosted the 2nd Annual HOEDOWN fundraiser at St. Anthony Pavilion in Bryan. Over $5,000 was raised to help the Good Samaritan Gabriel Project Life Center in Bryan, Texas. Good Samaritan is a non-profit organization that helps pregnant women and their families. Over 500 attended this community event. Local businesses donated food, and a delicious barbeque meal was prepared by the Knights. Music to the Cajun beat of L’Angelus allowed for lots of dancing. The Spirit in Aggieland 5 www.aggiecatholic.org Sacramental Life Keeping Christ in the Center p h ot Ho K ha nD uy St. Mary’s Added An Additional Weekend Mass to the Schedule! o by Sunday, the “Lord’s Day,” is the principal day for the celebration of the Eucharist because it is the day of the Resurrection. It is the pre-eminent day of the liturgical assembly, the day of the Christian family, and the day of joy and rest from work. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1193) Mass attendance is up! The bad news (if there can ever be bad news about this) was that the church and parking lot were filled beyond capacity. Broadcasting Mass into the Hannigan Chapel (called Holy Vision) and an overflow Mass in the Activity Center on football weekends are no longer enough to accommodate the crowd. This fall, St. Mary’s is adding an additional weekend Mass, and adjusting the Mass schedule. Please note the new times listed on page 2. Eucharistic Adoration Draws Students The most appropriate places for prayer are personal or family oratories, monasteries, places of pilgrimage, and above all the church, which is the proper place for liturgical prayer for the parish community and the privileged place for Eucharistic adoration. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2696) During the school year, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed on the altar in the Hannigan Chapel for 58 hours during the week. Because Jesus must never be left alone during this time, students sign up to visit the chapel for prayer and contemplation during particular hours. Many others will “drop-in.” Christina Wilcox ’12 commits to a weekly hour of Eucharistic Adoration, and explained why, “Adoration is a time for me to reflect and focus on the most important thing, God. The best part of adoration is when you see someone come into the chapel to pray. This makes me realize that if I hadn’t been there, then that person would not be able pray before the Blessed Sacrament.” photo Aggies Welcome New Catholics by H oK h an The sacraments of Christian initiation —Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist—lay the foundations of every Christian life. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1212) Du y o yH K ha n Du y pho to b Each year the vibrant witness of the Aggie Catholics brings others to the Catholic Church through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). Those seeking to join the Church meet weekly for prayer and instruction in the faith. They are supported by sponsors, often fellow students, who help them on their faith journey. In the last year, 57 adults entered the Catholic Church either through baptism or making a profession of faith as a Catholic. They also received their first Holy Communion and the sacrament of confirmation. Students Complete their Christian Initiation at St. Mary’s Every baptized person not yet confirmed can and should receive the sacrament of Confirmation. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1306) Confirmation is the completion of baptism, the strengthening of baptismal faith, and the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit with an increase in the Spirit’s gifts. While many Catholics receive the sacrament during their middle or high school years, some do not. When they reach college, they seek the graces of this sacrament. Over the past year, St. Mary’s prepared 47 students for confirmation. Confession is Good for the Soul! For those who receive the sacrament of Penance with contrite heart and religious disposition, reconciliation is usually followed by peace and serenity of conscience with strong spiritual consolation. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1468) The sacrament of reconciliation is offered at ten scheduled times during the week and all day on Monday—and the lines can still get long. Aggies are not bigger sinners, just good Catholics! The Spirit in Aggieland 6 www.aggiecatholic.org Aggie Awakening An Enduring Tradition For the past 28 years, St. Mary’s has offered Aggie Awakening retreats, most recently Aggie Awakening #92. This studentled and student-run ministry strives to foster an “awakening” to Christ’s presence in the world. For many students, the retreat marks a deepening of their faith and a commitment to believe, practice and live God’s message of love. An Awakening Retreat not only involves 120 “retreaters,” but also an on-site staff of approximately 100 students, with others who contribute their efforts in other ways. The staff prepares through prayer, leadership training, team building and service projects. AA #1 began on Friday, October 14, 1983. Aggie Awakening #100 will be in the spring of 2014. Joe Allen ‘12 led AA #92 and said, “From the months of planning beforehand, down to the very end of the weekend, God has continued to move in great ways. With Aggie Awakening #100 coming up in just a few short years, there has never been a greater time to be a part of this largest and longest running Awakening retreat.” Farewell and Howdy! College Station is a place of “good-byes,” and at the end of the last school year we said “Farewell and Godspeed” to Father Chris Downey. St. Mary’s was Father Chris’ first assignment after he was ordained a priest in 2009. He served as associate pastor for two years, and leaves us to become pastor of Holy Family Parish in Copperas Cove, Texas. We will miss him, and we wish him many blessings in his new assignment. College Station is also a place of “Howdys!” and we send a big one to Aggie Father Will Straten ’00, St. Mary’s new associate pastor. He was born in Waco and grew up outside of West. A proud member of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of 2000, Father Will was active in Aggie Awakening and the Knights of Columbus, and served as Mass coordinator during his student years. He earned a degree in agronomy, focusing on turf management. After a discernment retreat in 2002, Father Will realized that God was calling him to his turf to cultivate a different kind of soil! He entered the seminary and was ordained a priest in June 2009. For two years, he served as associate pastor of St. Helen Parish in Georgetown, Texas, before God, through Bishop Joe Vásquez, sent him back to us! Welcome Father Will, and may your service to the Aggie Catholics bear everlasting fruit! The Spirit in Aggieland 7 www.aggiecatholic.org Evangelization Spreading the Word of Christ Across Texas KACB and KEDC Announce Alliance St. Mary’s Catholic Center’s Aggieland Catholic Broadcasting (KACB 96.9 FM) and RED-C Catholic Radio (KEDC 88.5 FM) spread the Gospel message on the local airwaves. Both stations share similar goals and challenges even though they serve different listeners. Aggieland Catholic Broadcasting focuses on programming for college students, while RED-C offers a wide variety of programming for the public-at-large. The stations are announcing an alliance that will benefit Catholic radio and the listeners they serve. In addition, this alliance allows the stations to share resources and provide students for-credit internship opportunities in Catholic radio with Texas A&M University. Although each station will continue its own unique programming format, the stations will share a studio, management and equipment, and engage in some parallel programming. To this end, RED-C moved its studio to St. Mary’s, which lets both stations operate from one central location. This move and new equipment will allow live local programming from the studio, live programming from remote locations, and locally produced call-in shows. This collaborative relationship also brings an exciting development! Texas A&M University Communications, Agricultural Journalism, and Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering programs will begin a student radio internship program with Aggieland Catholic Broadcasting and RED-C Catholic Radio. After the students graduate, they will take this valuable media skill with them to places all over Texas and beyond. Aggie Catholic Dennis Macha ‘92, President of RED-C Catholic Radio, said, “This internship with TAMU for our radio stations will be mutually beneficial. KEDC and KACB will benefit from assistance with radio production, public relations, development, and engineering. And, our student interns will be able to help serve the Church while also getting a valuable learning experience for a future career, along with credit for their studies.” Aggie Catholics Celebrate Throughout Texas Since the spring of 2010, St. Mary’s has sponsored Aggie Catholic gatherings in different parts of Texas, bringing together students, former students, prospective students and parents. To date, Aggies have gathered in Corpus Christi, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin and Hallettsville. The gatherings typically began with Mass, concelebrated by Father David Konderla and Aggie priests in the area. Aggie deacons were invited to serve. Afterwards, at an informal dinner, Father David updates the attendees about why St. Mary’s is receiving national recognition for Catholic campus ministry. Current and former students speak about how participation in the programs and activities of St. Mary’s allowed them to develop their leadership skills and grow stronger in their photo by Ho Khan Duy Catholic faith. The Spirit in Aggieland 8 www.aggiecatholic.org Financial Highlights Being Good Stewards of our Gifts of Treasure Most Successful Raffle Ever! St. Mary’s students, friends and benefactors joined together to make the 2011 Winner’s Choice Raffle the most successful ever, with over $120,000 worth of tickets sold. The raffle is a major fundraiser, and serves to introduce many new benefactors to the mission and work of St. Mary’s Catholic Center. The lucky winner was William (Bill) Boyett from Bryan, Texas. Bill has been a loyal supporter of St. Mary’s raffle, having purchased tickets over the past six years. As the winner, he got to choose either a 2011 Toyota Corolla, 2011 Toyota Tacoma Truck or a $15,000 scholarship to any post-high school education program. It didn’t take long for Bill to make his decision! Top Ticket Sellers Party with Coach Sherman Aggie Catholic football coach, Mike Sherman, graciously invited students who sold at least $250 in raffle tickets to a party in recognition of their efforts. Students reported that a chance to meet and “party” with the coach was a great incentive! Thank you, Coach, for hosting a wonderful event, and may God richly bless you and the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Football Team this season. And the Next Step Is... It’s no secret that St. Mary’s is serving more and more students, and this is a wonderful blessing from God. Along with this blessing comes the challenge of meeting their spiritual needs and helping them to develop into Apostles for the Church and World. Featured Benefactors Currently, St. Mary’s is “bursting at the seams” within the church, in the parking lot, and in the Student and Activity Centers. Not only are we out of “facilities,” we also need more staff to serve the students—those who come to us and those whose faith is not an important part of their lives (yet). In other words, it has never been a question of whether we need to grow, but how to grow in a prudent way, following God’s plan. Toward this end, we are pleased to announce an exciting development. Thanks to the generosity of our benefactors, St. Mary’s has joined with Dini Partners to conduct a feasibility study to answer the question of how to best proceed with this growth. The study will access the ability to raise funds and grow in the following areas: Staffing to support the spiritual needs of a growing Catholic student population Men’s and women’s residences for vocation discernment Additional meeting space for student groups Updated and expanded rectory and convent A new church with seating for 2,000 Catholic student apartment complex Additional parking capacity for Mass and St. Mary’s events We hope to have the study completed and decisions made by the end of the fall semester, and look forward to keeping you up-to-date about this process. The Spirit in Aggieland 9 Karen ‘04 and Tully Wyatt ‘98 Members of the Living Faith Society We were blessed to have been raised in strong Catholic families, but it was not until we became involved in the community at St. Mary’s that our hearts were opened to a more intimate spiritual life, a true spiritual awakening. After graduating, joining the workforce, and starting a family of our own, the spiritual foundation God blessed us with at St. Mary’s continues to be a key aspect of our daily lives. Because of those who came before us and supported St Mary’s through their time and financial resources, our lives have been forever changed. We have made it our commitment to continue to support St Mary’s so that young Aggies may have the same opportunity to discover Christ’s love as we did. www.aggiecatholic.org Stewardship a way of lif e Sacrificial Support at all Levels of Giving During the 2010-2011 fiscal year, St. Mary’s Catholic Center relied on thousands of benefactors to support the ministry. Without the gifts of students, parents, friends, charitable foundations and other benefactors, St. Mary’s could not provide comprehensive campus ministry services to thousands of students. As you can see, all levels of support are necessary for St. Mary’s to continue and grow the Catholic campus ministry services for A&M and Blinn students. We believe each gift represents hope and trust in God for the future of our youth and the Catholic Church. Benefactors Allow St. Mary’s to Keep Pace with Enrollment During these challenging financial times, St. Mary’s has been blessed with benefactors committed to forming the future leaders of the Church and society with the riches and wisdom of the Catholic faith. During the 20102011 fiscal year, gifts to St. Mary’s increased by over 16%, allowing St. Mary’s to meet our budgeting goals. We especially appreciate this generosity as the number of Catholics on campus continues to increase. We estimate there are over 15,000 Aggie and Blinn Catholics. Your gifts allowed St. Mary’s programs and services to keep pace with the growing enrollment at Texas A&M and Blinn College. total: $2.16 million (up over 16% over last fiscal year) living faith society Foundations Student Giving, Anonymous 9% Cash, Gifts <$100 11% Gifts Newman Council Gifts $100 - $999 $10,000 or more 20% 25% Director’s Fund Gifts $2,500 - $9,999 21% Members of the Living Faith Society commit to making an electronic monthly gift to St. Mary’s drafted from a checking account or credit card. This way of giving reduces fundraising overhead, helps with on-going operational expenses, makes donating simple through automation and allows a contribution to be budgeted over time. Father David’s goal is to have 1,000 members by 2012; and during this fiscal year, great progress has been made toward this goal. During the 2010-2011 fiscal year, 225 new members joined the Living Faith Society, bringing the total membership to 754. St. Mary’s appreciates those who are able to contribute on a monthly basis.

My siblings were very involved here, and they encouraged me to take part in St. Mary's great programs. I had the opportunity to go on an Aggie Awakening retreat as a freshman, and I would like to take the classes St. Mary's offers in the Church's social justice teachings and apologetics. St. Mary’s is extremely accessible and available—the seven weekend Masses make it possible for busy, active students to keep the Lord's Day holy. St. Mary's has provided a solid foundation for my erratic life!” —Josh Light ‘13 Fightin’ Texas Aggie Yell Leader, 2011-2012 * denotes Living Faith Society Member, names in maroon denote 12-year donors The Spirit in Aggieland 12 www.aggiecatholic.org scholars fund {$1,000-$2,499} Scholasticism teaches that faith and reason complement each other in our understanding of the divine. Benefactors who make gifts ranging from $1,000 to $2,499 annually allow St. Mary’s to help today’s students proclaim and live the truths of our faith in an increasingly complex society. With so many more Catholic students on campus than ever before, St. Mary’s appreciates the commitment of these benefactors. Anonymous (2)* Mr. and Mrs. Edward P.

Last November, Archbishop Timothy Broglio of the Archdiocese for the Military Services visited St. Mary’s Catholic Center to celebrate Mass and visit with students. The archdiocese was created by Pope John Paul II to provide the Catholic Church’s full range of pastoral ministries and spiritual services to those in the U.S. Armed Forces. Since his visit, the archdiocese sponsored two students to attend a vocations discernment retreat in California. Aggie Catholics have also shown their support for the men and women in the armed services by partnering with the local American Legion in preparing and sending boxes of “goodies” and letters to deployed troops.

In 2009, the Rosary Makers, a group of students and others interested in promoting the devotion, began meeting at St. Mary’s after Tuesday weekday Mass. Since then they have made nearly 1,700 rosaries. The rosaries are given to students preparing for confirmation, benefactors of St. Mary’s and those in jail. Their rosaries also fill up the “rosary basket” at the receptionist desk, where any visitor is welcome to take one. Of course, maroon and white are the favorite colors!

St. Mary’s Youth Retreat Team (SMYRT) is a group of approximately 80 college students who travel to parishes within 100 miles of St. Mary’s and lead high-energy retreats for middle and high school students. Each semester SMYRT leads 8-10 retreats, including confirmation retreats and retreats meeting the particular needs of a parish. Most retreats are conducted in parishes that do not have full-time youth ministers. Each year for the last 10 years, SMYRT has also “launched” at least one student into the National Evangelization Team (NET) after graduation. Like SMYRT, NET travels to parishes to fulfill their mission of challenging young Catholics to love Christ and embrace the life of the Church. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Pohlen Mr. and Mrs. Gary N.

Aggie Football Player Joins Catholic Church Just like any student who is seeking God’s will in life, a “celebrity” student wants the freedom and practical help to hear God’s voice without fuss and fanfare. With great humility, Big 12 standout Michael Hodges made his profession of faith as a Catholic at Mass on Sunday, July 31. Michael was prepared for this commitment through St. Mary’s Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) program. Regarding this conversion, Hodges said, “I feel blessed to have joined the Catholic faith and community. This new chapter has already brightened other areas of my life, and I am excited about facing my future upheld by this faith.” * denotes Living Faith Society Member, names in maroon denote 12-year donors The Spirit in Aggieland 19 www.aggiecatholic.org Spirit THE IN AGGIELAND St. Mary’s Catholic Center 603 Church Avenue College Station, TX 77840 (979) 846-5717 www.aggiecatholic.org - C L A SS GI FTS class of 2011 pledges $67,000 For more information about making a gift from your class, contact: Johanna Bazin (979) 846-5717 or [email protected]. In appreciation for their experiences at St. Mary’s, students are organizing within their class to present St. Mary’s with a class gift upon graduation. The Class of 2011 donated and pledged over $68,000 to date. To celebrate, the classmates gathered for a “Last Supper” shortly before graduation to present Father David Konderla with a ceremonial check. The concept of class gifts started with the Class of 2005, which has committed more than $53,000 to the St. Mary’s permanent endowment. Individual students pledged at least $1,000 to participate in this gift. Inspired by these young Ags, a member of the Classes of the 1940s helped develop the concept of decade class gifts. At this time, the Classes of the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s have committed nearly $580,000 to this permanent endowment. Proceeds of this endowment will allow St. Mary’s to continue to minister to future generations of Aggies.
