礼拜日(10月3日. 25, 2023, celebrates 首页。coming Week

俾斯麦，和 It’s amazing what hundreds of helping h和s can do in a day’s time. The number of tasks that have been tackled by the University of Mary Day of 服务 volunteers since it began nine years ago are staggering 和 run the gamut: shoveling tons of debris at an empty school in M和an; database entry at a grade school; installing fence at a national park; zoo cleanup; apple picking for a world apple bobbing record; tree wrapping to protect from winter critters; cleaning ditches from campus to the Capitol; ecumenical cleanup at Trinity Lutheran, 和 preparing meals for those underserved, 这里仅举几个例子. There isn’t much they haven’t done or can’t do.

University of Mary’s Day of 服务 has become 北达科他’s largest one-day volunteer event 和 is organized 和 run by students. And this year looks to be just as exciting 和 big with around 1,200名学生, faculty 和 staff swarming the streets, 企业, 和 organizations of the 俾斯麦-M和an community — while a group of students are bussing to Watford City to volunteer in that community. Also taking part in this event from afar are students at Mary’s campuses in 罗马, 意大利, 和 亚利桑那州 State University in Tempe.

Classes are canceled for this event so students can come together with professors 和 administration to serve others by giving of their time 和 talents. It’s an opportunity for everyone to join in fellowship to build new relationships 和 community.

“I expect this 9th annual Day of 服务 event to be a physical representation of the formation 和 education that our students have received here at the University of Mary,马蒂·朗斯多夫说, 任务 for Life coordinator that the University of Mary. “It is an opportunity for them to give of themselves in new ways 和 partake in the broader community around us. I hope that the students can learn more about themselves 和 what they have been made for by serving in this way. Our goal here at the university is for students to not just simply partake in more activities or events, but that they are sent on mission in learning to give their lives away in love. My hope is that the Day of 服务 will be a springboard for the student body to enter into this mission every single day.”

The event begins on campus at 8 a.m. 在车站的客厅里, located in the lower level of the Lumen Vitae University Center, with a c和lelight procession into the McDowell Activity Center (MAC) for an All-School Mass 和 Day of 服务 Commissioning. Breakfast will follow in the lower level of The Crow’s Nest Restaurant before students 和 faculty begin their service projects from 10 a.m. 直到下午三点.m. A homecoming feast will be served in the Crow’s Nest Restaurant at 5:30 p.m. 然后是晚上7点的加冕仪式.m. 在创始人大厅.
