• #LiveLikeJosef Featured

  Our longtime caretaker, benefactor and friend has been a source of reflection and inspiration during this 20202 Lenten Journey – perhaps at a time when we all needed it more than ever. Going forth, may we always strive to #LiveLikeJosef.

• Josef Day Video #3 - Celebrating the Feast of St. Joseph Featured

  Josef's name sake, St. Joseph, is regarded for his quiet strength, devotion, and the care he took as guardian of the Holy Family. For so long, Josef D'Heygers was a guardian of the Mater Dei campus, took great pride in his work, and was truly devoted and loving to each and every member of the Mater Dei family.

• From a Leap of Faith to a Legacy of Love Featured

  In our second video, our students reflect on Josef's legacy and his example of faith. Even the "leap of faith" Josef took in leaving Belgium for his new life at Mater Dei. He trusted that God would guide him and that everything would be OK. What an incredible lesson for us all. #LiveLikeJosef

  This year, we will observe Josef Day on Wednesday, April 8 (as April 17 falls over Spring Break). Throughout the Lenten Season, our current students, faculty and staff will be "journeying with Josef." Every Friday, we’ll feature a short video on Monarch Television on a lesson we can learn from Josef. Enjoy our first video in the 2020 series.
