Serviam Day in Dallas

Today, in the spirit of Ursuline, our visiting Chilean delegation focused on Serviam, our Ursuline motto meaning "I will serve." They began the day at the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store, an agency of Catholic Charities which serves the poor. There, they worked very hard for several hours pricing items, restocking shelves and tagging jewelry. It was hard work but very rewarding!

 

In the afternoon, we took a short break for lunch at the famous "Babes Chicken House" restaurant. Delicious!!

 

Then, in the early evening, the students accompanied our SRO (Students Reach Out) club to prepare and serve dinner at the Hillcrest House, a home for people living with HIV. The theme of the dinner was "Breakfast for dinner" which is always popular with the Hillcrest residents. The students had a wonderful time cooking the dinner and serving the residents. They worked very hard and made a lovely meal which was greatly appreciated! Thank you, Chilean sisters for your wonderful spirit of Serviam!
