A huge show of enthusiasm and energy filled the main campus on February 15-18, 2023, as students, faculty, staff, parents, and other stakeholders came together to celebrate the 58th Founding Anniversary of the University of Saint Louis.
University President Rev. Fr. Macwayne N. Maniwang, CICM, took a moment to express his gratitude in his homily during the thanksgiving mass held on February 15, 2023, reminding everyone of all the wonderful blessings God has bestowed upon USL.
Fr. Maniwang remarked, “Our gathering today is truly a manifestation that God did not leave us alone. Our thanksgiving for the 58th Founding Anniversary is grounded in our faith in the Lord. We express our gratitude and thanksgiving today because we recognize the gifts we received from the Lord.”
“We hope and pray that with God’s blessings and God’s presence in our lives, these 58 years will be doubled and tripled in the years to come. Let us pray that this university will always become an instrument of God’s grace to the people around us,” he added.
