Brag Fall 2021

I hope that you and your loved ones have remained safe and healthy this past year
as this pandemic continues to affect our everyday lives.
We have been very busy at Campion, completing the smart classroom upgrades
and air handling renovations thanks to your generosity. As the urgent mechanical
needs have been addressed for our building, it is time for us to look to upgrading
our beloved chapel space. Since Campion College was built in the late 1960s, the
chapel has been a beacon of peace and unity on our campus but it is starting to
show its age. There is great potential for the space to be transformed both inside
and out to continue to be a symbol of hope and unity for both our College and the
entire university campus.
Our Jesuit values have always been the essence of Campion. This past year has
highlighted one in particular - Cura Personalis or care for the whole person. Even
at a distance, our students regularly share with us happiness in their successes and
distress in their struggles, mentally, physically, and financially.
Student life has become very difficult and the financial worries are significant. We
have seen a record number of applications for scholarships. Meanwhile, financial
difficulties have been cited as the number one reason students are dropping out of
university. As they are facing the uncertainty of an unknown future, their education
will be a valuable commodity to bring them hope.
In short, our students and our College need your help now.
Please support our scholarship funds and chapel project. With your help, we can
discern the path forward to create a bright future for our youth while ensuring
Campion can educate future generations in the Jesuit tradition.
If you have other ideas to help, reach out to Krista Calfat in Donor Relations at
krista.calfat@uregina.ca.
Thank you and may God bless you.

PS: Your generosity is a formative force for our students. It will allow us to continue
to strive to educate men and women for others, shaping them to be the leaders our
world needs during these troubled times.
