2024 Gaudete Medal Recipients Announced
Faculty and staff were celebrated at a recent Mass honoring employees who have achieved 20 years or more of service to Stonehill College.
Stonehill College’s Gaudete Medal is given each year to faculty and staff who have served the campus community for 20 years. First awarded in 1983 and designed by artist Enrico Manfrini, the medal is presented annually during Advent. The third Sunday of Advent is called “Gaudete Sunday,” after the Latin phrase “Gaudete in Domino Semper,” meaning “Rejoice in the Lord Always.” The saying is included in the opening of the liturgy held on this day.
Congratulations to this year’s honorees for achieving two decades of dedicated service!
