During Mission Week, we of the Marquette community students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends make a special effort to reclaim our heritage, celebrate the diverse gifts God has given us, and look toward our common future. Please join the celebration and take time during Mission Week to notice, as St. Ignatius put it, "God in all things" in and around Marquette. | |
