新澳门六合彩开奖结果's bicentennial events celebrated our history, and fostered pride in and support for SLU locally, nationally and globally.

SLU's Bicentennial Events

新澳门六合彩开奖结果's bicentennial  activities and events from small talks and lectures to a Mass under the St. Louis Gateway Arch for more than 6,000 people. 

Bicentennial Mass

Thousands attended the outdoor Mass and festivities to kick off SLU's bicentennial year Sept. 23, 2017, including students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni and the larger St. Louis community.

Believed to be the first Mass ever held beneath the Arch, the setting recalled SLU鈥檚 first location in a small home located on what is now the Arch grounds. Guests included St. Louis Archbishop Robert J. Carlson and principal chief of Osage Nation Geoffrey Standing Bear.

Selections included 鈥淲hen the Saints Go Marching In,鈥 the theme from Steven Spielberg鈥檚 E.T., and the University鈥檚 鈥淰arsity Song.鈥
