A DIFFERENT WAY TO WIN: THE DAN ROONEY STORY
Dan Rooney was one of the most influential sports executives of his generation, the man who transformed the Pittsburgh Steelers into one of the National Football League's great dynasties and premiere franchises. Some of his most important achievements, however, took place off the playing field as he sought to bring about equity in the league's hiring practices and peace in his ancestral homeland of Ireland. As a business leader, a philanthropist, a diplomat and the author of the famous Rooney Rule, Dan Rooney was known for his core values, his quiet strength, his effectiveness, and his willingness to talk to and hear from those who disagreed with him.
In this poignant account of his father's life, Jim Rooney takes readers behind the scenes to share stories from his hundreds of hours of interviews with business and political leaders; sports and celebrity influencers; and family members. Part memoir, part business biography, part history book, A Different Way to Win underscores the importance of focusing on the long game and the effectiveness in building consensus in a way that is meaningful and sustainable for decades to come.

A SEA AT DAWN
Silvia Guerra / Translated by Jeannine Marie Pitas and Jesse Lee Kercheval
Silvia Guerra (1961, Maldonado, Uruguay) is among the most influential figures in Uruguayan poetry today. This translation, a panoramic selection of poems from nine books, presents Guerra as one of Latin America’s dauntless poets of language. This tour-de-force translation engages Guerra’s stunning range of forms and tendencies—neopastoral, neobarrocoand even a fictional biography of Lautréamont—while joining the poet as she courts complexity, opacity, nothingness, and the sublime.

ART NOURISHES LIFE: SELECTED WORKS FROM THE SAINT VINCENT ART & HERITAGE COLLECTIONS
When the founder of Saint Vincent, Boniface Wimmer, OSB, arrived in Latrobe, Pennsylvania in 1846, he quickly set out to establish a monastery and school that would be immersed in the arts. Envisioning the arts as having the same status and support as science and religion, Wimmer immediately began to assemble artists, teach students, and collect art. Over the past 170 years Saint Vincent has been inspired by its founder's vision - continuing to collect art that edifies spaces on campus, provokes discussion, and engages diverse modes of thought and inquiry. "Art Nourishes Life: Selected Works from the Saint Vincent Art & Heritage Collections" traces a unique history of collecting back to the mid-19th century when artwork began arriving at the nascent community through the auspices of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. At the time of this publication, Saint Vincent counts some 4,000 works of art in its holdings ranging from ancient to contemporary in nearly all media. This full-color volume features over fifty works culled from Saint Vincent's impressive holdings. These works stand not only as a testament to Abbot Boniface and King Ludwig, but to the myriad of artists, educators, and benefactors whose determined efforts collectively acknowledge the power of art to transform its viewers and environment.

CHRISTUS VIVIT (CHRIST IS ALIVE!)
"Christ is alive!" proclaims the pope. Pope Francis's new Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Christus Vivit calls to "all Christian young people" and the People of God, including pastors and the faithful, and urges them to seek the youthful newness of life in Christ!
The pope proposes that youth engage the joy of a living God, the richness of their Catholic faith, and the strength of living in Christian community. He illuminates the Scriptures to give youth tangible hope and draw them more fully into the Church. And in a time of new technology and transformative social changes, the pope challenges youth to take the grounded path of generous sacrifice and faithful companionship with peers, family, neighbors, and elders.
Pope Francis knows committed and bold youth and young adults can change our world! He listened to youthful voices from all over the world during the synod on young people. Pope Francis now speaks full of the conviction that the youth will have great impact-and he challenges them to their best. The pope affirms the sacred time of youth as a time of dreams and decision, of maturity, courage, discernment, and valiant commitment. And he considers a plan for action that will take young people forward quickly, amid fears and hopes, into the work of a life with mission and purpose.
For the young and young at heart, this exhortation will stir all who read it to seek a newness of life in the promise of Christ's Resurrection. Christus Vivit is vital for youth and young adults, as they live out their vocation in the Church and their mission in the world. The exhortation is also an important read for pastors, parents, educators, families, youth and young adult ministries, and all Christian young people.

CONVERSATIO: A JOURNAL IN THE TRADITION OF CATHOLIC, BENEDICTINE & LIBERAL EDUCATION - VOLUME 1
I write with the exciting news that the Saint Vincent Center for Catholic Thought and Culture has published its first volume of Conversatio: A Journal in the Tradition of Catholic, Benedictine, and Liberal Education.
