🚂 Leaving a Legacy, Lighting the Way ❤️🖤
This evening, July 9, 2026 at 6:30pm the Class of 2026 proudly unveiled their lasting gift to St. Augustine’s College—the Big Red Machine Monument.
More than a monument, this symbolic train stands as a tribute to the spirit, pride, and tradition that have defined generations of SACers. It serves as a permanent reminder that every graduating class has the opportunity to leave its mark and inspire those who follow.
The unveiling ceremony, themed “Leaving a Legacy, Lighting the Way,” brought together graduates, families, faculty, alumni, and friends for an evening of reflection, thanksgiving, and celebration. The monument was officially unveiled by members of the graduating class and blessed by Father Culmer, marking the beginning of a new SAC tradition.
The monument also features:
