Saint Mary’s celebrated the beatification of Blessed Brother James Miller, FSC, an alumnus of Saint Mary’s, who earned his undergraduate degree in 1966 and his graduate degree in 1974. A group of Saint Mary’s administration and De La Salle Christian Brothers traveled to Huehuetenango, Guatemala, for his official beatification ceremony. In Guatemala, Saint Mary’s presented two Signum Fidei Awards in honor of Brother James, who was only 37 when he was shot and killed in 1982, as he was mending a wall outside a school where he worked in Guatemala. Simultaneously, a celebration also took place on the Winona Campus. More information can be found at smumn.edu/brotherjames.
