"Forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back"

Calgary Herald: St. Mary's University leadership strives to help students succeed |
|
|
|
|
|
We are delighted to share that today in the The Calgary Herald StMU president and vice-chancellor, Dr. Vanderpool, and chancellor Bishop William McGrattan, are featured discussing how our leadership strives to help students succeed. St. Mary's University was a perfect fit for Sinda Vanderpool, who joined the Calgary post-secondary institution as its president and vice-chancellor last summer after working at Baylor University in Texas for several years. "My work there was all...
about helping students be successful in their studies and the pursuit to lead deeply meaningful lives," she says about the Baptist faith-based post-secondary school in Waco, Texas.
"And so, what drew me to St. Mary's is that similar approach whereby education should lift students up in mind, body and spirit while encouraging them to lift up the lives of others, too."
"We not only want to build the academic capacities of students, so they're prepared to lead fruitful careers and lives; we also want them to be good human beings who want to make the world a better place."

POPE'S PRAYER INTENTION |
+ |
|
Each year, the Holy Father asks for our prayers for a specific intention each month. You are invited to answer the Holy Father's request and to join with many people worldwide in praying for this intention each month. From time to time, the Holy Father may add a second prayer intention related to current events or urgent needs, like disaster relief. The second prayer request will help mobilize prayer and action related to the urgent situation.
