College involves much more than just going to classes. Ask any Saint Mary’s alumna about the special things that remind them of their time on campus and several will stand out—the Avenue, the ring, ND football games. Learn more about the unique traditions of Saint Mary’s College and what keeps alumnae coming back to this beautiful 140 acre corner of the world.
Rooted in Faith
In 1844, the Sisters of the Holy Cross had a vision to build a place where women of all faiths were welcomed, educated, and empowered. Today, this mission continues as Saint Mary’s emboldens all members of the community to take passionate and direct action to improve lives in the local community and around the world. Our campus ministry serves a vital role on campus by accompanying students as they grow spiritually as well as academically.
