Legacy Prayer

God of love who has given us life and all that is good, we give thanks for the part that Holy Names University played in enriching our lives and the lives of others. With hearts both grateful and sad, we entrust this property into your hands. We know that change is the essence of life for people and places. May whoever lives or works here next make it a place of beauty, hospitality, and service to our world.

As we let go of our beloved university, may we carry in our hearts the people we met here and the knowledge we found here.

And may we never fail to rejoice in your many gifts in the many seasons of our individual and communal lives. This we ask in the names of Jesus and Mary.

Amen.
