Title: Rev. Matthew Carnes, S.J.

Rev. Matthew Carnes smiles for the camera.

“Over the last nine years, I’ve come to love the hidden quiet of the University. The silence of early-morning student athletes making their way up the hill to Yates, the stillness of members of our community gathered in Copley Crypt Chapel before 10pm Mass, the hushed crowds in Lauinger Library during finals week; they all speak to me of the marvelous things going on inside us, in silence, where God is laboring to bring new ideas and new action to life.”
