TODAY: 6pm Mass on Kinerk Commons |
Dear Rockhurst Community,
To honor our graduating seniors, I invite you to consider singing in the Rockhurst Community Choir for the Baccalaureate Mass to be celebrated on Friday, May 11th at SFX at 2:00 PM. It is one of the highlights of the year because it gives staff, faculty and students an opportunity to share joyous time together.
Please email me if you'd like me to reserve a music packet for you. Please note: you do not need to attend all of the rehearsals....just as many as your schedule allows.

Blessings on all during these beautiful days of spring!

Bill Kriege for receiving the first-ever Staff of the Year award!
You are a gem and a real gift to our department
and the Rockhurst community! |
This Earth Day, we invite you to savor God's presence evidenced in creation by reflecting on Gerard Manley Hopkins' "Pied Beauty" and enjoying these beautiful images. Praise God for the countless gifs of the earth. May we be good stewards.
GLORY be to God for dappled things- |
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; |
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; |
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings; |
Landscape plotted and pieced-fold, fallow, and plough; |
And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim. |
|
All things counter, original, spare, strange; |
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) |
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim; |
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: |
Praise him. |
