During the week of January 3rd-7th, six young adults, who are members of the Dominican Young Adults Chapter at Molloy College, came together to participate in a service project in Freeport. This year’s build was a collaboration with the Methodist Disaster Relief Services and ourselves.

The week began with arrival on Sunday evening, settling into bedrooms, a short tour of the house, dinner, and an overview of the plan for the week. This was followed by an opening prayer service.

This past weekend fifteen students from St. Agnes Academic HS, College Point; Albertus Magnus HS in Rockland County; and St. John the Baptist HS., West Islip came to St. John the Baptist HS to begin a weekend of prayer, study, and the forming of community. These students were the latest group who attended one of our youth preaching workshops. They learned how to bring to life their baptismal call to “preach the Good News” by using the gifts and talents that have been given to them by our loving God.

NEWBURGH, N.Y. – November 2015 – Mount Saint Mary College students donated more than $1,000 worth of food on Monday, November 23, helping to feed local people in need this Thanksgiving.

The initiative, spearheaded by the college’s Campus Ministry, delivered the food to First United Methodist Church on Liberty Street in Newburgh, N.Y. for distribution to local families.

According to Roger May, assistant director of Campus Ministry, students donated about 100 food items over the last week. Additionally, students raised nearly $900 last month during “Spirit of the Mount Week,” which volunteers used to purchase boxed and canned goods.

Mount chaplain Fr. Francis Amodio, O.Carm, was very pleased with the Mount’s commitment to aiding the less fortunate this Thanksgiving.

“At Mount Saint Mary College, according to our mission, we are to educate the whole person,” he said. “When they graduate from the Mount, service will be a value which they would naturally share in their communities.”
