St. Tom's Students & Alumni Help LUM
|
|
The students, alumni & staff attending last weekend's
Boiler Awakening Retreat (sponsored by
St. Thomas Aquinas - the Catholic Center at Purdue) spent a day serving with LUM. The retreat participants helped with "spring cleaning" at the LUM
Emergency Shelter. They gave the interior a new coat of paint. LUM is blessed to have such hard working volunteers at Purdue willing to lend a hand. Thanks to the
Boiler Awakening students, alumni & staff and the members of Purdue Catholic Students. To see
