Proud to help extend the tradition! 🐍💛💙
Join us as we build on a St. Mary's University tradition during the
✝️ Blessing of the Rattler Ring Replicas
🗓️ Friday, April 24
🕑 Noon
📍Barrett Memorial Bell Tower
Marking the start of a new chapter in our students' Rattler Experience, we will bless the bronze replicas of the St. Mary's University Rattler Ring, located between the Barrett Memorial Bell Tower and the Blume Library. The replicas arrived on campus this semester and will become part of the many traditions of St. Mary's — from meeting at the Bell Tower for 3 O'clock Prayer to participating in the Graduates' Procession during Commencement.
During this event, we will also thank the donors who helped make this tangible symbol of our Rattler Pride possible: the St. Mary's University Alumni Association, Charles T. Barrett Jr. (B.B.A. '62) and Melissa Barrett, and Balfour.
