Class Spotlight!
Check out Dr Walsh's freshman biology students growing lettuce!
The lettuce was grown hydroponically at St Joes - a form of gardening without soil, but rather in a solution of nutrients mixed with water!
The lettuce was then used to feed the class's tortoises!

Francis Xavier Lecture Series: HeartsHome!
|
|
The Francis Xavier lecture series recognizes the importance of being present, openly listening to the stories of others, and learning how to walk in solidarity with our local and global family.
On Wednesday, October 30, 175 Cadets attended the first Lecture of 2019!
Anna O’Connell, Mara Wickett, and Andie Tong of Heart's Home USA, shared their experience of mission work. Their ministry was to simply be present to those who suffer, who experience loneliness, primarily in very poor neighborhoods, visiting orphanages, jails, shelters, nursing homes and hospitals.
