On September 25, 2004 more than 60 students, faculty, staff and
administrators gathered in the Cafeteria of the Staten Island
Campus to celebrate the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul and make a
difference in the lives of many as they volunteered at five
different service sites. The volunteers began their day with
breakfast and a short prayer led by Fr. Michael Carroll, Vice
President for Branch Campuses.
There were a total of five sites that the Staten Island Campus
volunteered in. The sites were Good Counsel Home for Single
Mothers, Project Hospitality, Clove Lakes Park, Carmel Nursing Home
and Lily Pond Nursing Home. The day came to an end at 2
o'clock when the volunteers reunited at the cafeteria for lunch and
to talk about their experience of service.
