• December 01: Day of Giving, Dec. 2, brings Titans together to benefit University

  Monday December 01, 2025
  

  

  Detroit Mercy will host its annual Day of Giving on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 2.

  This 24-hour fundraising campaign is an opportunity for Titans around the world — alumni, community members, parents, family, friends, faculty, staff and students — to come together and show support for the University.

  It is also much more than a day of giving. It’s a chance for the entire Titan community to celebrate everything we love about the University and create countless opportunities for UDM students.

  On Day of Giving, students will also take part in philanthropy activities, including a hot chocolate bar, snacks, and fun games in the Fountain Lounge from 12:30-2 p.m. These activities are open to everyone, and highlight the impact of giving and showcase mission-driven programs such as The Hive, Titan Equity Nourish Network (TENN), Service Immersion Trips and Rx for Reading.

  Gifts of all sizes make a difference! Donors can choose exactly where they’d like to make an impact, supporting the areas and programs they’re most passionate about through the Day of Giving page.

  Together, Titans can make a powerful difference, for years to come.

  University Ministry will host a special time of prayer and reflection for peacemakers Monday, Dec. 8, at 1 p.m., inside of the Holy Spirit Chapel, located in the Student Union, Lower Level.

  Together, we will pray the Rosary, a traditional Catholic devotion, in support of Pope Leo XIV’s monthly intention for December: That Christians living in areas of war or conflict, especially the Middle East, might be seeds of peace, reconciliation and hope.

  Enjoy free hot chocolate and receive a blessing before finals in a space free of stress with your UDM community.

  While the rosary is a traditional Catholic prayer, all are welcome to participate. Rosary beads and easy to follow “how-to” guides will be provided.
