Mount Saint Mary College’s student-athletes and staff members recently gathered in the Elaine and William Kaplan Recreation Center for the blessing of a new crucifix for the building’s lobby.
Fr. Gregoire Fluet, Vice President for Mission and Ministry, suggested the addition of the new crucifix, which was made of hand carved wood from Northern Italy. The crucifix aims to celebrate the Dominican heritage of the Mount with the present and future generation of student-athletes.
“This crucifix will be a daily reminder of what Mount Saint Mary College stands for,” noted Shane Bell, Director of Athletics, Recreation, and Physical Education at the College. “Not just for student-athletes, but all members of the MSMC community.”
Following the blessing of the crucifix, Fr. Fluet provided a blessing for the student-athletes.
