Christian Action Team Report 53

“Lord, Teach me
to serve you
as you deserve...”
November | December 2013

As we move from Thanksgiving to
Advent, there is much to be grateful

for, indeed, and we celebrate Christ’s
coming to earth through relationships
built within the Christian Action Team
(C.A.T.). Hundreds of students are
living the Works of Mercy through the
22 Christian Service Initiatives active
this year. Students share their stories
weekly at the C.A.T. meetings on
Thursdays at 3:05 p.m. in Room 227.
All are welcome to attend C.A.T.
meetings. Student reflections,
upcoming events, opportunities and
more can also be found in the monthly
C.A.T. eNewlsetter and at
www.ignatius.edu/service. It is
inspiring to continue to see students
(as shown in the photos and described
here) answer the question, “How is
Christ calling me to serve?”
