∙ ALUMNI CLASS GIFT ∙

The Vandal Catholic graduating class of 2019 made the first ever class gift to St. Augustine's. Each graduate was challenged to make a pledge of $1,000 in monthly installments of their choosing. Pledging over $13,000, they joined a rich legacy of alumni who make sure that future Vandal Catholics also find community, intellectual formation, vocational discernment, and a deeper relationship with Christ during their years at the University of Idaho. Graduate Melanie Leija shares, "St. Augustine's has allowed me to grow in ways I didn't know possible, and I want to ensure others have the opportunity to experience Christ's love and goodness, just as it's been shown to me."

Our graduates presented this check to Father Chase following the Baccalaureate Mass on graduation weekend. Father Chase prayed a blessing for missionaries over them and sent them on to medical school, campus ministry, FOCUS missions, education, research, and even positions here at the University of Idaho.

Vandal Catholic Alumni, you make us proud!
