As I write this, two-hundred and eighty plastic masks are currently making their way from China to Saint Cloud, MN, sent from one graduate to another. S. Mary Mao, a 2011 MA in Pastoral Ministry graduate, placed the masks in the mail on Thursday addressed to Geralyn Nathe-Evans, a 2004 MA in Pastoral Ministry graduate.
S. Mary Mao (in pictures) is currently helping those infected with the coronavirus in China and asked Dr. Barbara Sutton if there was a need for masks in our area. Dr. Sutton reached out to alum Nathe-Evans, who works as a nurse at Centra Care, who said “yes, Centra Care will know how to use them.”
Today the impact of Saint John’s Graduate School of Theology and Seminary spreads across the world. Our graduates continue to bring comfort to the suffering, and hope to the hopeless, affirming the sacred value and dignity of all people everywhere.
