Founder's Week 2012

View Founder's Week Photos

On a sunny, windswept afternoon on Wednesday, March 14, Marymount College celebrated its founding and the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (RSHM), the College’s founding order. Beginning with the Founders Mass, and followed by the presentation of the Founders Award and the blessing of three works of religious art on the Main Campus, the events were a poignant climax to the Founders Week, organized by Fr. Mark Villano and a team of College staff members and students. The week’s events drew attention to the College’s mission, “that all may have life and have it to the full” and also included the Canyon Verde Service Day, a music concert with the Jazz Ensemble and Vox Choir, lectures on religion and public service, and on Catholic education.
