Introduction

About the DePaul Emeritus Society

DePaul University values its ongoing connections with its faculty and staff retirees, as it values their past contributions to the university’s mission. The DePaul University Emeritus Society was founded in 2008 with the merger of the Staff Emeritus Society and the Emeritus Professors Association. The Society is sponsored by the University’s Office of Mission and Values.

The purpose of the DePaul Emeritus Society is to provide a means for ongoing connection, communication, and socialization between the university and its emeritus faculty and staff, and between individual retirees whose professional lives were for so many years dedicated to university service.

Photos, events, and information of interest to members of the DePaul Emeritus Society will be posted to this blog. Please take a look, add your comment, offer to be an "author" or just enjoy.

Vincentian Heritage Tour - August 2-14, 2011


The 2011 Vincentian Heritage Tour to France is open to retirees and  is now accepting reservations.  The tour travels to many of the locations that were a part of St. Vincent's life.  Some of the highlights include:
  • Paris - home of the Vincentian motherhouse AND excellent food and wine
  • Folleville -  where the Congregation of the Mission had its origins in a sermon given by St. Vincent in the parish church here
  • Dax - Vincent's birthplace
  • Toulouse - Vincent studied at the university in Toulouse
  • Carcassone - the greatest fortress city in Europe
  • Avignon - the residence of several 14th century popes
  • Chatillon-sur-Chalaronne - the Gothic church where St. Vincent was pastor
  • Beaune -  the Hôtel-Dieu, a hospital typical of ones the church operated in the time of St. Vincent and the most amazing and colorful French county market
The tour will be lead by Frs. Ed Udovic and John Rybolt, both Vincentian historians.  Many of the retirees have taken this tour either when they were still working at the University or since retirement.  All would agree, it is a most wonderful experience.
