We want to recognize our fellow Duhawks who have recently passed. While we are sad that they have moved on, we cherish the memories and moments we shared and celebrate the positive impacts they have made on our lives.

A full list of recently departed alumni can be found on the alumni website.

The alumni office accepts prayer requests for those seeking the intercession of St. Joseph, the patron saint of Loras College:

To you, O blessed Joseph, we have recourse, and with hearts filled with confidence, earnestly ask you to take us under your protection. We humbly pray that you will look with gracious eye upon that inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased with His blood and support our need by your power and strength. Defend, most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen offspring of Jesus Christ. Shield us under your patronage that, imitating your example, and strengthened by your help, we may live a holy life, die a happy death and attain to everlasting happiness in Heaven. Amen.
