Lourdes Students at Annual Summer Outreach Mission
The Lourdes University Department of Campus Ministry returns to Cincinnati this month to assist the Franciscan Sisters for the Poor in a summer outreach mission project. While there, the group will work with a different agency each day, including Habitat for Humanity, to assist individuals in need.
Franciscans for the Poor seeks to carry out its Franciscan traditions of simplicity, service, community and prayer. As a Lourdes alumna, Laureen Knueven states, “We are pleased to participate in this mission project for the third consecutive year. Lourdes students truly enjoy the opportunity to lend a helping hand to those in need, even during summer months."
In addition to serving the community abroad, the Department of Campus Ministry serves locally by calling on the gifts and talents of students, administration, faculty, staff and alumni of Lourdes University to help create a community whose faith is alive, informed and active.
The group departs Lourdes University on Sunday, May 15 at 12:30 p.m. and returns Friday, May 20.
