Volunteer Corner
“What I do you cannot do; but what you do, I cannot do. The needs are great, and none of us, including me, ever do great
things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.” - Mother Teresa
Students from Cor Jesu Academy gave manicures to residents at Mother of
Perpetual Help and then spent the afternoon playing games and visiting.
Phi Delta Theta Fraternity members from SLU stacked hundreds of brick pavers and
cleaned up and mulched the flower beds at the entrance to our Shrewsbury Campus.
