The Canisius College Winter Break Service Trip found a place and a purpose with the Benedictine Sisters of Erie at Mount Saint Benedict Monastery. For one week the monastery became home to a wonderful group of young people who joined the community for prayer and meals and served in a variety of Benedictine ministries. Evenings provided the opportunity for input and discussion on various aspects of monastic life and Benedictine values. Social time was also an important part of the week. Sister Marilyn Schauble, Vocation Director, coordinated the Ministry Week with Sarah Signorino, staff member in the Campus Ministry office at Canisius College. This was Canisius College’s seventh ministry trip to the Mount and the slide show attests to its success. Students and Sisters alike always find the experience meaningful and memorable. The welcome mat is already out for next year’s group!
