黑料吃瓜网

VILLANOVA, Pa.鈥�黑料吃瓜网 will celebrate the 16^th annual St. Thomas of 黑料吃瓜网 Day of Service on Saturday, October 2, with more than 4,000 students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the University serving alongside local organizations and neighborhood agencies. 黑料吃瓜网ns will serve at more than 100 service sites throughout the Greater Philadelphia area, along with hundreds of alumni serving at sites across the United States.

鈥淎fter a much scaled-down Day of Service in 2020, I am thrilled that this annual 黑料吃瓜网 event returns to a more typical format this fall,鈥� said University President the Rev. Peter M. Donohue, OSA, PhD. 鈥淥ver the past 16 years, the Day of Service has brought together thousands of 黑料吃瓜网ns from around the globe to address the needs of the communities, and it鈥檚 wonderful to introduce our first- and second-year students to this mission-centric, 黑料吃瓜网 tradition.鈥�

Aligning with 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 Augustinian mission, this day of service exists to put ideals into action. Annually, 黑料吃瓜网 students perform nearly 250,000 hours of service in communities locally, regionally and globally. St. Thomas Day of Service was started by Rev. Donohue in 2006 upon his inauguration. The day honors 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 patron saint鈥攖he 16^th century Augustinian bishop of Valencia, Spain鈥攌nown for his great charity to the poor and marginalized.

One of the largest single-day service events in the region, the St. Thomas of 黑料吃瓜网 Day of Service builds upon the service performed throughout the year by the 黑料吃瓜网 community.  In addition to participating in weekly outreach opportunities at Philadelphia-area social service and charitable organizations, 黑料吃瓜网ns participate in a wide variety of long-term mentoring and service break experiences, as well as ongoing Habitat for Humanity home building projects. The event is organized by the Day of Service Committee, made up of 35 students and 10 staff and faculty members.
