Students from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota are hosting a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser on Saturday, Feb. 2, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at Saint Mary’s Parish (1303 W. Broadway).
You’re invited to bring a friend, eat spaghetti, make a donation, and have fun! There will be a drawing for a robotic vacuum cleaner.
This event will support alternative spring break immersion and service trips for students involved in the S.O.U.L. (Serving Others United in Love) program. This year students are traveling to Rochester, N.Y.; Browning, Mont.; Flint, Mich.; Tulsa, Okla.; and El Paso, Texas. In each of these places participants will be learning about systematic poverty and injustice as well as the creative solutions each community has in improving lives through education and community programming. Service will be done in schools, soup kitchens, community centers, and among homeless populations.
In its 32nd year of sponsoring trips, S.O.U.L. is an outreach of Campus Ministry. The mission of this program is to provide alternative break opportunities for students to learn about injustice and create relationships through service. Students work to raise funds to support their efforts, as well as pay a portion of the cost of the trip on their own.
For more information or to make a donation, contact Colleen Dunne at Ext. 6936 or at cdunne@smumn.edu.
