    James DeKoven was Racine College’s second president, and by far its most influential. In recognition of his service to the church and his life of total dedication, James DeKoven was named to the official calendar of the Episcopal Church as “blessed” and a specific day set aside in his honor. At his death, the testimony of peers and students alike bears touching witness to a saintly life well lived on this holy ground. “Behold the perfect man” was inscribed on the Processional Cross given in his memory. Please make reservations with Sarah Bussell by March 22nd.

    The DeKoven Center is located at 600 21st Street, Racine, WI 53403.  Phone: (262) 633-6401
