San Miguel visit nears

Saint Mary’s will host San Miguel students Monday, Oct. 5, through Thursday, Oct. 8.

San Miguel is a Christian Brother’s mission school, part of a nationwide network of schools dedicated to teaching underserved populations of urban and rural school children.

The goals of this visit are to acquaint these children with college life and begin to inspire them to consider post-secondary education. The program also gives Saint Mary’s students – particularly education students – the opportunity to work with urban children from another culture.

The Office of Campus Ministry will be organizing a faculty/staff SOUL trip to San Miguel schools later this year.
