Office for Mission and Rector
We focus on the development and presence of the Catholic and Marianist character of the University. Our goal is to make this character visible, fruitful, and pervasive in every facet of University community and life. Marianist Educational Associates promote, support and live this mission on a daily basis.
Throughout 2011 the University of Dayton will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of Blessed William Joseph Chaminade's birth. Chaminade, a French Roman Catholic priest, survived the French Revolution and started the Society of Mary, also called the Marianists, in 1817. The Society of Mary founded the University of Dayton in 1850. Click here to keep informed about special liturgies, exhibits, lectures and events throughout 2011 to celebrate his birth. The celebration began when the Marianist Family of the Dayton/Cincinnati area gathered to celebrate the Eucharist at the University of Dayton, Saturday, January 22.
