For generations of St. Joseph’s students, the Parlors in Burns Hall have been more than just a room.
Built in the 1800s and retaining its original Georgian style, the Parlors have hosted countless conversations, celebrations and quiet moments that helped shape the student experience.
Today, after decades of use, time has taken its toll. That’s why we are proud to launch a special campaign to restore the Parlors to their historic beauty and reimagine them for modern use, ensuring this cherished space continues to inspire students and alumni for generations to come.
Our goal: $250,000
This important effort will begin with a generous gift from the Class of 1975 and two extraordinary anonymous matching gifts totaling $65,000. That will double the impact of every dollar raised!
