[[John Augustine Zahm|Fr. John Zahm, C.S.C.]], after whom the men's residence hall is named, looked to St. Albert's example of using religion to illumine scientific discovery. Fr. Zahm's work with the Bible and evolution is sometimes seen as a continuation of St. Albert's legacy. The second largest student's fraternity of the Netherlands, located in the city of [[Groningen]], is named Albertus Magnus, in honor of the saint. The Colegio Cientifico y Artistico de San Alberto, Hopelawn, New Jersey, USA with a sister school in Nueva Ecija, Philippines was founded in 1986 in honor of him who thought and taught that religion, the sciences and the arts may be advocated as subjects which should not contradict each other but should support one another to achieve wisdom and reason. The Vosloorus Catholic parish (located in Vosloorus Extension One, Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, South Africa) is named after the saint. The Catholic parish in Leopoldshafen, near [[Karlsruhe]] in Germany is also named after him, too, since Albert is the patron saint of scientists and the [[Karlsruhe Institute of Technology]] has a large research center nearby. Since the death of [[Albert I of Belgium|King Albert I]], the [[King's Feast]] is celebrated in Belgium on Albert's feast day. [[St Albert's Catholic Chaplaincy, Edinburgh|Edinburgh's Catholic Chaplaincy]] which serves the city's universities, is named after St Albert.
