Supporting Saint Mary's
Proverbs 29:18 tells us that “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” I would add that without the resources to take steps forward, then the vision perishes. Simply put: without resources, we cannot succeed.
-Father James P. Burns, IVD, Ph.D., President
When you support Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, you support more than a transformational and innovative education. Enriched by the Lasallian Catholic heritage, Saint Mary’s is dedicated to awakening, nurturing, and empowering learners to ethical lives of service and leadership. Our graduates gain the advanced knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities necessary to be lifelong learners, successful workers, good neighbors, and ethical citizens.
Saint Mary’s makes strides every day to ensure its standing as a well-known top-tier national university that prepares tomorrow’s leaders. But the strides are only as powerful as the resources available to make them possible. With your investment, we can make a much bigger impact. Through your gift, we can support more deserving students through scholarships, provide more resources and diverse opportunities to academic programs, ensure the best facilities and learning environments for students, and so much more.
The possibilities are endless – how far ahead we go depends on you.
