... St. Edward's Day! YES, today is the Feast Day of St. Edward the Confessor, King of England and patron saint of the Founder... Fr. Edward Sorin, CSC. Since its inception, the University has celebrated this day as "Founder's Day." Back in the day, students had the day off from classes, "iced cream" was served, games were played, and St. Edward's residents sent "congratulatory" cards to Fr. Sorin where one lucky resident was selected to recite a poem, especially penned for this auspicious day, to Fr. Sorin himself! On this special day, Kelly shared, "It is an incredible honor to receive this recognition and I am grateful to Fr. Ralph and my fellow Stedsmen for making St. Edward’s Hall such a special place to call home. Long may it continue and For Hall and King!"
AND...
Despite occurring last during Founder’s Week, but in keeping with tradition, the Order of Gentlemen recipient is announced this day. Today, Thomas “Tommy” Kelly ’25 is the 2027 inductee into the Order of Gentlemen, an award given for service to Hall and King.
Congratulations Tommy!
