More about People

Place

Hospitality - Community - Respect for Others

From beloved Old Main to the innovative O'Grady Library and Cebula Hall to Baran, Burton, Parsons and Spangler Halls, many Saints feel the sense of welcome and belonging of this place. Saint Martin's also continues to develop state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities as well as ecologically sensitive, aesthetically beautiful living and learning spaces to engage all in our community and bring in community and business leaders.

More about Place

Purpose

Stewardship - Justice - Peace

A Saint Martin’s education is academically rigorous, supportive of student success, and informed by its timeless Catholic Benedictine traditions. Expanding our endowment will allow us to award more financial need-based and merit-based scholarships, at higher levels per student. Scholarship support, and academic, athletic, spiritual and leadership development, create the foundation for a transformative Saint Martin’s education.

"We have supported Saint Martin's over the years, but wanted to create something more permanent to honor my mother as well as recognize the support both Mala and I received when we were students, she at the university and me while in high school."
