Dear Friends,

Our cherished Hilltop is beautiful and still in these days approaching Christmas. Following a busy and exciting semester, the days here are quiet, punctuated by the quarterly bells of Alumni Hall.

As we prepare for the coming of Christ Jesus, we give thanks to God and pray that we may be servants for the wellbeing and benefit of humanity. Indeed, as members of the Saint Anselm community, we are committed to our Catholic and Benedictine faith and mission – today and always.

In this season of hope, peace, joy, and love, we extend our deep gratitude for our students, faculty, staff, monastic members, alumni, friends, and supporters. May you all feel the true spirit of the season through acts of kindness and connection. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Warmly,
Joseph A. Favazza, Ph.D.
President
