March 29 – Holy Week 2018: Triduum
Today, classes break for the remainder of Holy Week. Tonight, we begin a very special and meaningful time of year, Easter Triduum. For those not familiar with the term, Triduum marks the passion, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. One remarkable thing about Triduum is that it is in essence one liturgy that continues over three days.
March 16 – St. Patrick’s Day 2018
We are the Celts, and tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day! As the day approaches, I am reminded of the difficult road St. Patrick travelled in life, but also how impactful and worthwhile that journey was.

Lighting the Chapel for Christians
The University of St. Thomas is a Catholic university, and we are also Houston’s only Catholic university. That designation is an honor, and often a responsibility as well. I am always grateful when an opportunity comes along to act in a visible way to proclaim our authentic Catholicity. We have just such an opportunity this weekend.
Message from Deacon Vaclavik
It has been some time since we reported on The Call Toward Tomorrow integrated planning process. When last semester ended the 30-plus member Oversight Committee had completed work on the internal operational and spiritual core values and the 100-year core purpose. These were framing pieces that were built upon the University’s Catholic identity and mission statement, Basilian values and motto.
