From January 6th – 9th, 16 college students from 5 different schools joined us for “Urban Plunge,” an intensive service retreat we’ve hosted for the past nineteen years.
Along with our staff, the students slept overnight at My Brother’s Keeper in Easton, attended daily Mass, delivered furniture and food, volunteered at local homeless shelters and soup kitchens, and reflected each evening on their service.
This year’s students attend Notre Dame, Stonehill College, Providence College, Salve Regina and Fairfield University.
In the words of Shannon Grady, PC ’18, “The entire Urban Plunge was a growth experience for me—a period of learning about the local poverty around me, learning true empathy, learning how to accept and love one another, and how to deepen and develop
my Christian faith. Thank you so much for a life changing experience!”
