As a Catholic college, we join in prayer alongside Pope Leo XIV for all. We invite our community to join in praying the Rosary for peace. 🤍🕊️

To accompany his constant calls for peace in the world, Pope Leo XIV will lead the prayer of the Holy Rosary on May 30 at 7:00 PM Rome time from the Vatican Gardens.

He will lead the faithful in Shrines around the world in praying the Joyful Mysteries, with each decade being dedicated specifically for those affected by war and violence and entrusting them to the intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace.

The first mystery prays for the victims of war, especially the most vulnerable, while the second is for those who bring words of hope and the comfort of faith to populations affected by war. The third recalls the medical and paramedical personnel and volunteers who bring humanitarian aid every day.

The fourth mystery prays for those who suffer the violence of war, for prisoners and for all who endure humiliations that violate human dignity. The fifth and final Joyful Mystery is dedicated to praying for an end to war and the establishment of lasting peace in the world.

This Memorial Day, we remember William Barragy, the first chaplain killed in combat during the Vietnam War on May 4, 1966.

Before becoming a Catholic priest, Father Barragy attended Loras College.

Today, we honor Father Barragy and all those who with courage and faith, made the ultimate sacrifice. 🇺🇸💜💛
