Benedictine College President Stephen D. Minnis said that the consecration and novena are especially fitting in the year of Eucharistic Revival. “We owe all that we have to the many graces that have come from Our Mother and our mission,” said President Stephen D. Minnis. “Our devotion to the Blessed Mother has been a crucial part of our history, and she will be a decisive part of our future. We also have big plans this year to use each aspect of our mission of community, faith and scholarship in an intentional way promote the Eucharist, because nothing is more important to Benedictine College.”
