Homecoming 2026: Celebrating 131 Years of Saints Spirit, Tradition & Community

Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) invites alumni, friends, family, and supporters to return to campus for Homecoming 2026, taking place February 27 through March 1. As the University celebrates 131 years of faith, service, and academic excellence, this year's Homecoming is not only a time to reconnect - it's an opportunity to give back and ensure the next generation of Saints thrives.

Throughout the weekend, the OLLU community will gather to celebrate tradition, renew lifelong friendships, and support the mission that continues to transform lives.

From Friday, February 27 through Sunday, March 1, the OLLU family will come together for a vibrant weekend full of meaningful traditions, exciting activities, and opportunities to reconnect with classmates and the broader Lake community.

A Weekend of Saints Spirit

Homecoming 2026 will feature beloved traditions and exciting events for all ages:

Friday, Feb. 27 - Kickoff Reception

An evening welcome reception with hors d'oeuvres and wine, offering alumni and friends the chance to reconnect and begin the weekend together.

Saturday, Feb. 28 - Main Homecoming Celebration

The day begins with a special blessing at Sacred Heart Chapel, followed by campus experiences, the popular Auto & Lowrider Car Show, lunch with fellow Saints, a Saints softball game, and family-friendly activities, including the Future Saints Kids Zone.

Saturday evening will feature a lively Lotería Night Fundraiser, blending fun, culture, and philanthropy in support of student success.

Sunday, March 1 - Golden Grads Mass & Brunch

A special Mass honoring milestone reunion classes, followed by a celebratory brunch recognizing the lasting legacy of OLLU alumni.

Celebrating the Past. Supporting the Future

While Homecoming is a time to reflect on cherished memories, it is also a powerful reminder of the impact OLLU has made - and continues to make - in the lives of its students.

Proceeds from select Homecoming events and donations made during the weekend will support scholarships, academic programs, and student initiatives that advance OLLU's mission. Every gift, no matter the size, directly impacts Saints who are pursuing their educational dreams.

Alumni and friends are encouraged to consider making a Homecoming gift as a meaningful way to celebrate their OLLU journey. Giving back ensures that future generations experience the same transformative education, strong sense of community, and commitment to service that define the Lake.
