Homecoming & Fall Family Weekend

Come Home to Saint Vincent

Every fall, Saint Vincent College welcomes alumni, families, students, and friends back to campus for a weekend of connection and Bearcat pride. Join generations of Bearcats to celebrate all that makes Saint Vincent special.

Save the Date: 2027 Homecoming and Fall Family Weekend Oct. 8 - 10, 2027

A Weekend to Remember

Whether you're returning to campus after many years or visiting for the first time, you'll find opportunities on campus to reconnect, explore, and celebrate with your classmates and other Bearcats throughout the weekend.

Cheer on the Bearcats

Show your school spirit at the Homecoming football game on Saturday, Oct. 9. Get ready for the Pep Rally at noon, cheer on the newly crowned Homecoming King and Queen at half time, and support Saint Vincent teams competing throughout the weekend— including alumni athletic events and varsity matchups.

Connect with Fellow Alumni

Reconnect with classmates, faculty and friends at receptions, reunions and special gatherings, from the annual Alumni, Family, and Friends Tailgate to the Academic All-Schools Reception in the Dale P. Latimer Library and our Alumni of Distinction Awards ceremony (registration required).  We will honor class years ending in 2 and 7.

Experience Campus Together

Explore campus on your own or take a guided tour to experience the community their students call home. Families can enjoy child-friendly activities for guests of all ages.

Reflect and Worship Together

Participate in the annual Alumni Memorial Mass, prayer with the Benedictines, and other worship opportunities at both the Mary, Mother of Wisdom Student Chapel and the Archabbey Basilica that reflect the faith tradition which has shaped our Benedictine community at Saint Vincent for generations.

Explore, Shop, and Gather

Between events, stop by some of Saint Vincent's favorite destinations. Browse Bearcat gear at the College Bookstore, discover unique gifts at the Basilica Gift Shop and Gristmill General Store, grab a bite or coffee and spend time reconnecting with friends and family at the Community Center Dining Hall or Kara’s Healthy Café in the new Dunlap Family Athletic and Recreation Center.

A Tradition That Brings Bearcats Together

For generations, Saint Vincent has been a transformative place that forms friendships, shapes lives, and strengthens faith. Homecoming and Fall Family Weekend is our opportunity to celebrate those connections. In celebrating our time at the College, we create the kind of weekend that reflects the very best of our mission and community.

Join us for a weekend of celebration, friendship, faith, and Bearcat pride.

Planning Your Visit

Seeing the Basilica spires in the distance is like coming home. Register in advance to get the best possible experience throughout the weekend. Check out our campus map and directions to plan your stop, and don’t forget to book your overnight accommodations if you plan to stay a while.
