Nestled within our Incarnate Word campus is the majestic clock tour that not only marks the passage of time but also resonates with the institution's profound Catholic heritage. As we walk through our campus, a familiar tune chimes each day, “The Hymn to the Incarnate Word.” This hymn tune was adapted from Hosanna #34.

UIW’s Newly Confirmed Students

08/24/2024 Sourced from UIW News

Most of us are used to individuals and families entering the Church and receiving their Sacraments in the parish. It was my junior year in college when I learned this occurs at Catholic colleges as well when my best friend expressed a desire to be Baptized into the Church. For a whole year, as her sponsor, we met with other students with the same desire, and I witnessed her reception into the Church at the Easter Vigil that year.

Grotto Mass Reflection

08/24/2024 Sourced from UIW News

Attending Mass outdoors at the Lourdes Grotto on campus has been very special to me. I would often visit the Grotto to say a prayer or sit in peace and nature, looking up at Our Lady of Lourdes on the structure. It has been a place of reflection for me during stressful and joyful moments as a student.

God is love (1 Jn. 4:7-21) and God decided to give us the gift of God's love—the gift of God self—three times over: first in God's creation of us; then in God's redemption of us through the Incarnation of His Beloved Son; and finally, in God's recreation of us through the workings of God's own Spirit in the church.

U.S. Army Chief of Chaplains Makes Historic Visit to UIW

02/02/2024 Sourced from UIW News

On Feb. 3, 1943, the U.S. Army Transport Dorchester traveling from New York to Greenland was torpedoed by a German U-boat in the Labrador Sea. The steamship was carrying 904 service members, including four U.S. Army Chaplains. In the time immediately following the blast, the four chaplains of various faith backgrounds worked to get others to safety, offered calming words and helped organize evacuations into lifeboats. When it became clear that there were not enough life jackets for those onboard, the four chaplains removed theirs, gave them to others, then linked arms and prayed together as the ship sank. Since then, Feb. 3 has been known as Four Chaplains Day and serves as an annual reminder of the work and sacrifice of those called to share God’s message or offer spiritual support in the U.S. Armed Forces.
