The Legend of the New Saint

This new Saint needs one final thing to truly come to life, a name chosen by you.

On the D’Youville campus, two Saint Bernards named Saint and Maggie can always be found spreading smiles and school spirit.

They’re more than mascots—they’re loyal friends, campus celebrities, and keepers of the Saints’ mission: to care, to give, and to never refuse a call for help.

Every day, they greet students, comfort friends who miss home, and cheer on the Saints from the sidelines. But recently, Saint and Maggie began to notice something in the air, a new kind of energy. The cheers were louder, the lights a little brighter, and the spirit of D’Youville felt like it was ready for something… more.

So one winter evening, after a day of spreading joy, Saint and Maggie decided to wander a little farther than usual. They trotted past the Hub, through the glow of campus lights, and followed the faint sound of music echoing from beyond the city.

There, in a field dusted with snow and starlight, they met a Saint Bernard unlike any they’d seen before—bright-eyed, full of energy, and dancing to the beat of distant drums. This new friend could leap, cheer, and move with the kind of excitement that could lift an entire crowd to its feet.

Saint and Maggie knew instantly that this joyful spirit belonged at D’Youville, the place where compassion meets courage, and where energy meets purpose.

So they invited their new friend home. Together, they crossed the city and arrived just as the clock struck midnight. The gym lights flickered on, the students cheered, and the new Saint stepped into the spotlight, ready to carry D’Youville’s story into every game, every celebration, and every heart on campus.

Now, Saint and Maggie have a new partner in purpose.

This newest member of the Saints family carries forward everything D’Youville stands for: compassion, community, strength, and joy.

A loyal companion. A tireless cheerleader. A friend to every student.

Now, this new Saint needs one final thing to truly come to life, a name chosen by you.

Because at D’Youville, every Saint is part of the story.
