The One Hundred Thirtieth
Commencement of
Saint Peter’s University
Thursday, June 3, 2021Message from the President June 3, 2021 Dear Members of the Class of 2021: Today, we gather to recognize your achievement. I know this day looks a lot different from what you envisioned when you began your journey at Saint Peter’s. The past 14 months drastically altered life as we know it. And yet during a time of great uncertainty you rose to the challenge, demonstrating great flexibility as you faced situations never faced before. This moment recognizes the successful completion of your degree and the beginning of a new chapter in your life. However, the rest is still unwritten. Now is the time to pursue opportunities for which you have developed a genuine love and passion and in the words of Saint Ignatius, “go forth and set the world on fire.” Celebrating the 130th commencement exercises brings me joy; I am confident that your education has prepared you to excel intellectually, lead ethically, serve compassionately and promote justice as your journey continues. The Ignatian values instilled in you have provided a solid intellectual, moral and spiritual foundation on which to build a life full of gratitude, knowledge and community. Unquestionably, the Class of 2021 consists of future leaders who will forever be “men and women for others.” Know that as you join our Peacock family of more than 36,000 alumni, I am so proud of you and all that you have accomplished while here. You are now part of a 130-year tradition and I look forward to seeing where the next journey takes you. Remember to stay in touch with alma mater so that we can continue to celebrate your successes. On behalf of everyone at Saint Peter’s, congratulations! Sincerely, Eugene J. Cornacchia, Ph.D. President

Faculty Mace
he Saint Peter’s University faculty mace is a symbol of the important role of faculty. It is carried by the
T president of the Faculty Senate at two annual occasions: the University’s fall Michaelmas ceremony
and spring commencement. The mace consists of three parts: the crown, hilt and handle.
The crown, which features a peacock, serves as both the visual and symbolic centerpiece of the mace. In
1930, Rev. Robert Gannon, S.J., chose the peacock to serve as the mascot of what was then a newly
reopened Saint Peter’s College following World War I. He chose the peacock as the institution’s symbol in
order to reflect the theme of “resurrection and eternal life.” The ancient Greeks taught that the flesh of the
peacock did not decay at death, so Fr. Gannon felt that the brightly colored bird also embodied the
College’s motto: “IN PERPETUUM.” The metal peacock is noted for its remarkable level of detail. Burnished
in high grade nickel silver, it is emblematic of Art Deco style but also serves as a reminder that Jersey City
was once the metal arts and ironwork crucible of the region.
The sculptural peacock stands astride a 12 cornered block or hilt fashioned from a piece of reclaimed
Aleppo pinewood. The 12 corners represent the Apostolic roots of Saint Peter’s Catholic identity. The
Aleppo pine used to fashion the hilt comes from Manresa, Spain, in the Catalonia region. It was there that
Saint Ignatius of Loyola experienced his famed illumination and saw God in all things. The hilt is emblazoned
with the University seal, which symbolizes the Catholic identity and Jesuit mission of the University.
Finally, the handle of the Saint Peter’s faculty mace is fashioned from reclaimed Spanish cedar or cedrela
odorata. This piece of wood once grew in the region where Jesuit missionaries first settled (1609) along the
banks of the Paraná River in what is now Paraguay.
The faculty mace symbolizes the transformational presence of the Society of Jesus in the old world of Spain
and the new worlds of South and North America, from Paraguay to Pavonia.
