Centennial Reflections
Hit pause for a few minutes each month to pray and reflect with the College community. Each month, a reflection written by a member of the Centennial Service and Spiritual Sub-Committee will be published on this page. As a community, we will journey together in gratitude for the many blessings of Rosemont’s Centennial Year.

We pause to bring these young people to God in our prayer.”
