St. 做厙輦⑹ invites all students, staff, faculty, alumni, and friends to come together for the celebration of the Feast of Saint Joseph on Thursday, March 20. This annual festivity honors St. Joseph and the Universitys founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Crandolet (CSJs), upholding the values of social justice, service, and reflection through service projects and community engagement opportunities.
Attendees can drop in to participate in a variety of projects, including sewing sweatshirts for patients undergoing dialysis, decorating bags for St. Paul Meals on Wheels, historical displays by the CSJ archives and St. Kates Library, and writing cards of gratitude to CSJs. An activity new to this year is Agate Housing and Services sleeping mat project, where participants can help produce yarn from plastic bags to create mats for unhoused community members.
Rayan Abdulkadir 27, student civic engagement coordinator in the Office of Scholarly Engagement, tabled for a service project at last years Feast of St. Joseph. She described the University event as a beautiful display of social justice, mutual aid, and community. Our campus does a great job connecting with community organizations to make events like this happen, she said. As young people, we often get caught up in the hustle and bustle of school, work, and social events. It is necessary to take time to slow down, and do things that align with your values, like helping others, and giving away some of your time to do something that counts.
