Steelers Faithful: 50 years at Saint Vincent
They devote their lives to serving their Lord, wearing long black robes that nearly touch the ground. They greet guests with smiles, casually mentioning their religious teachings in conversation. They live in a monastery where much of the facade is shrouded by trees, giving the building that only they can enter an air of secrecy. Read more in the
Post-Gazette, the
Steelers website and

Bookstore Prepared for Steelers Fans
The Steelers and their fans like logo merchandise so the Saint Vincent College Bookstore is preparing for the onslaught of visitors to the 50th annual summer training camp by stocking the shelves with more black and gold merchandise than you can think of. Read More.

Rebecca J. Davis, C'12
When I look at where I was when I entered Saint Vincent as a scared freshman to the woman I have now become, it is amazing. I truly believe that it was the atmosphere of Saint Vincent that allowed me to grow to my fullest potential academically, spiritually, emotionally and professionally. The Benedictine values have been ingrained in me and now I find myself living them out. I am so thankful that I attended Saint Vincent. Now looking back, it was clear that this was where God called me to go to college and I could not imagine what my life would be like if I had gone anywhere else.
