X-day

Today is the liturgical feast of Saint Francis Xavier.  It also happens to be the day on which graduates of St. Francis Xavier University (StFX for short) receive their rings.  Yes, every graduate from that institute of higher learning (with the exception perhaps of the distance learners) is presented with a ring as a momento of their years spent there.



This year, for the first time I believe, the grad ceremony and the presentation of rings is being televised on-line so that other X-men and women can be present, albeit virtually at the festivities.

The broadcast begins at 2:00pm EST.
