College to Beautify Founders Graveyard
C
College founder Dr. Warren H. Carroll died on July 17, 2011 and was buried in a plot located behind Regina Coeli Hall, overlooking the Shenandoah River, on July 24 of that year. In the fall of 2012, a beautiful headstone was created for the College’s late founder, and in the fall of 2013, the College hopes to complete the beautification of the site, with the help of its many friends and alumni. The plans involve the construction of a stone archway and custom iron fence at the site where other members of the founding faculty will also be buried. The Founders Graveyard, as it will be called, will pay tribute to the sacrifices made by these pioneers in the rejuvenation of faithful Catholic higher education. The College is calling on the alumni, faculty, staff, students, benefactors, and friends of Christendom to come together and raise the needed funds to begin work on this project. Already, over $13,000 has been raised toward the $40,000 goal.

Christendom in Crisis is Focus of Carroll’s Last Book
T
This past summer, Christendom Press released the final volume in Dr. Warren Carroll’s A History of Christendom series. The sixth in the series, The Crisis of Christendom is concerned with the “crises” which plagued humanity during the modern era. The book was brought to completion posthumously with the help of his wife and fellow historian, Anne W. Carroll. The book discusses in detail Nazi and Japanese militarism and its crisis in World War II, the inhumane system of Communism and its fall in 1989, and the origins and consequences of the denial of human dignity in the modern culture of death. Carroll shows the power of evil in the twentieth century, but focuses also on the great

popes, in particular Pope John Paul II, and the great apparitions of the Marian Century. He ends with a call to hope and action. In this book, Carroll holds true to his first principles and what he called “the watch words of Christendom College:” Truth exists. The Incarnation happened. The long-awaited sixth and final volume to the highly regarded History of Christendom covers the years 1815 through 2005. This series is the only in-print, comprehensive narration of Western history written from an orthodox Catholic perspective.
