Because we always have been quite impressed with Saint Joseph's and the wonderful work it does, it was decided to offer continued assistance to the institution for the future success of its work. It is always gratifying to be in on the start of something new, and particularly so when what you are taking on is the challenge of building the future. When the occasion presented itself for the restoration and reconstruction of Villiger Hall, an already functioning building here on campus, we accepted Father's request to become involved in the reconstruction project. It is with great honor and humility that we accept the new name of the building in return for our involvement. I am confident that the reconstruction project will pay superior dividends and I have concluded that this is our investment for the future of Saint Joseph's heritage.
Different people have different ways to memorialize and remember old times and events.
I have attached a spirit of good citizenship to the idea of building or rebuilding, and I have always considered construction as a sign of progress. Before a contributor makes a gift, he or she has to be convinced that the donation is worthwhile, the cause is praiseworthy, and the administering organization deserving of trust and confidence. I've always felt that Saint Joseph s passes muster in all three categories. The material gift while forever needed cannot tell the whole story. The most precious gift, always, is the message that you care.
