Fall 2022 Magazine

In October of 1922, Father T. Lawrason Riggs '10 began his ministry as Yale’s first officially appointed Catholic Chaplain. This year, as STM celebrates one hundred years of Catholic chaplaincy, STM Magazine likewise focuses on the centennial. The Fall/Winter issue shines a light on our storied history, and the Spring/Summer issue looks forward to our present and future.

The subsequent pages tell the story of how Fr. Riggs '10, visionary and Yale alum, transformed the modest Catholic Club of 1922 into Yale’s Catholic Chaplaincy as we know it today. As witnesses of this history, alums from the 1930s-1970s have written about their experiences firsthand. This issue also gives you a glimpse into the first of our 2022 anniversary celebrations – our 100th Anniversary Concert.

As always in our Fall/Winter issue, we want to thank our generous donors, whose names are included in the following pages. Your partnership in our ministry is what allows us to both make a difference for current Catholic students at Yale and continue to serve as a university chaplaincy presence for the next hundred years.
