Visit from CCD

May 16, 2024 | Media

The Community Service Council hosted two representatives from Catholic Charities Dallas, Devyn Buschow and Kelsy Reynaga, who explained the work of CCD and brainstormed with the boys about ways Cistercian students could serve the community this summer and next year. May God bless the wonderful work of Catholic Charities, and may our Cistercian community grow ever more into the life outlined by our motto: Ardere et Lucere!
