(KAIR) -- Dr. Frank Kessler, professor of Political Science, was awarded the “Do Something Beautiful for God” Award during the annual Benedictine College Senior Brunch last week.
He was honored for his commitment to the faith on campus and for his longstanding practice of buying a crucifix for every room in the school’s residential and academic buildings.
The “Do Something Beautiful for God” Award is named for Mother Teresa’s quote, which was “Every day on awaking, my desire and my enthusiasm is this: today I must do something beautiful for God.”
Mother Teresa visited the Benedictine Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica Monastery in Atchison on June 9 and 10, 1981, when Benedictine College operated a South Campus at the Mount.
