Greetings! It's hard to imagine that we will soon be embarking on our alternative break service trip to the Fr. McKenna Center in Washington DC. We are quite a medley of characters! We range in age from 18 to 52 years and represent science, health professions,
theology, criminal justice, and communications majors. Some of us are the oldest in our family, some of us are the youngest and others are right smack in the middle. Two in our group share the same birthday and mother - that makes them twins. We also have
many talents amongst us - some are outgoing while others are quiet and reflective. Some are musical while others (who are not so inclined) have an appreciation for those that are. Some like to cook and others like to clean. Some are morning people and others
are night owls. But - like peanut butter and jelly -- it's clear from our weekly meetings, we are going to get along just fine! It's also safe to say that we are eleven strong called together by the common desire to more clearly understand the culture of
homelessness, the cause, and most importantly, what might we be able to do to make a difference! Jared (our faithful leader) shared this quote...
"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile" Mother Teresa
Quite simply - this will be our plan!
