Meet Our Anselmians

"I believe with all my heart that today’s world needs Saint Anselm College, a place that is infused with the Catholic and Benedictine values of community, hospitality and love, where the humanities, arts and sciences and professional programs like nursing, criminal justice and business build on our liberal arts core rather than compete with it. We need a place where you don’t have to choose between career outcomes and life outcomes. That place is Saint Anselm."
In the classroom and in the community, an Anselmian education will challenge you to find your best self.

“My current project tackles the idea of what it means to sing Wagner in Wagner’s time, and what it means to sing Wagner after he died. It’s led me to look deeper into the connection between music and politics, and music and ethics, and what do we do with great music by bad people.”

Parish nurses respond to emerging health and social dynamics to provide support to their local communities. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the issue of social isolation among all populations - children, youth, adults, and older adults. Loneliness and social isolation contribute to significant physical, behavioral, and psychological health issues.
The goals of this conference are to 1) examine the physical and emotional impacts of loneliness and social isolation, and 2) describe interventions to enhance community connectedness. Participants will explore approaches for specific age groups across communities and will take away practical tools for use in local churches and in their personal and professional interactions.
Join us for this day of conversation, exploration of creative approaches, sharing, and renewal.
Featured Speaker Alyson Breisch MSN, RN-BC
The cost for the Parish Nurse conference is $139
