La Roche University Athletics

Dear Campus Community,

It is with great concern that I share the news that Sister Candace's health has taken a serious turn.

Please join University Chaplain Father Peter Horton and members of the La Roche University community in prayer for our president, Sister Candace Introcaso, CDP, Ph.D., today, May 22 at 2 p.m. in Magdalen Chapel.

In the tradition of La Roche, let us surround her with prayers for peace and comfort in her time of need.

All are welcome to attend in person or virtually via Facebook Live at the following link: facebook.com/larocheservice

In the spirit of La Roche,

Howard J. Ishiyama, Ph.D.
Acting President and Provost

Statement from Howard J. Ishiyama, Ph.D., Acting President and Provost for La Roche University:

“The La Roche University community is heartbroken. We have lost our leader, our mentor and our friend.

We are remembering Sister Candace for her caring nature, her efficient and direct leadership and her love of life. She was an academic scholar who took pride in seeing students succeed. She loved the La Roche community and the Sisters and Associates of the Congregation of Divine Providence.

In her personal life she was happiest cheering for the Pittsburgh Pirates and caring for her two dogs, Jack and PJ. Her spirit will live on at the University.”

A big congratulations to LRU Baseball's Nathan Stutz! The senior has been named to the AMCC All-Conference First Team as the Designated Hitter. This is Stutz's second year in a row receiving all-conference honors.
