Come celebrate “Living Mercy,” a book that honors Salve Regina’s core values

In “Living Mercy,” twelve faculty and staff authors reflected together on Salve’ Reginas mission and core values. In this book, these authors consider the University’s core values find expression today through purpose-driven education, respect and dignity for all, faith and spirituality, mercy community, integrity, compassionate service and solidarity.

“With this collection of essays, we honor this sense of vocation and this spirit of mercy that has enlivened and guided our University for the last 75 years,” said Dr. Jayme Hennessy, professor emerita of the Department of Religious and Theological Studies and editor of “Living Mercy,” in his introduction accompanying the book.

Attendees can toast their colleagues over light hors d’oeuvres and a glass of wine, beer, or soft drink, as well as discuss the vocation and values with the authors.

“Inspired by the accomplishments of the past and looking forward to the call of the future, these essays provide a starting point for University-wide conversations to support Salve Regina in discerning how it will move into the increasingly complex challenges of the future,” Dr. Hennessy concluded.

All attendees will receive a copy of “Living Mercy.”
