FOR AN END TO WAR AND VIOLENCE O God, merciful and strong,
who crushes wars and casts down the proud,
be pleased to banish violence swiftly from our midst
and to wipe away all tears,
so that we may all truly deserve to be called your children.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
—The Roman Missal
Please note: In response to our Church leaders' call for prayer in these times of division and conflict, Campus Ministry will continue Monday Morning Prayer through the coming weeks.
Each Monday at 8 AM, we will gather in Schott Commons outside of Sobrato Student Life Center. We will pray one decade of the Rosary (approx. 5 minutes). Note: when Monday is a holiday, we will gather the first day back at school. All students, faculty and staff are welcome to join us.

Pathfinders: Career Exploration Panel Discussion
Pathfinders is a career exploration program organized by Alumni Relations, the Counseling Department, and the Archbishop Mitty Board of Regents. We are pleased to announce an upcoming event - tomorrow - for students at 1:50 p.m. in the Thomas Kinkade Center for the Arts.
"Career Launchpad: Future-Ready Skills and the Hiring Process" is a student-focused panel designed to introduce broadly applicable professional skills and demystify early career steps. The conversation will center on how communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and adaptability—developed through students' work at Archbishop Mitty today—form the foundation for success in any future path. Rather than diving into technical or role-specific details, the event offers an accessible, big-picture view of the professional world, with light references to emerging tools such as AI.
Please encourage your students to join us tomorrow.
