Eight of our students and Dr. Jeanne Minnerath gained new global perspective and insights into the international Lasallian world on a SOUL mission to India over the holiday break. SOUL – Serving Others United in Love – is a campus ministry program that offers students opportunities to learn, serve, reflect and get to know new places and diverse communities. One of the underlying goals of the India trip was to ignite a call for service leadership in participants as they begin to understand the experience of the poor and transform compassion into appropriate social action.
Past international SOUL trips have ventured to Guatemala and the Philippines. On this first trip to Southern India, the group did service work and interacted with students at the Christian Brothers-sponsored St. Pius X Boys Town trades school in Madurai. The Saint Mary’s group visited other schools and a farm administered by the Christian Brothers.
