9.19.15 Father/Daughter Spirit Day
Campus Ministry held their Annual Father/Daughter Spirit Day at
Sac State Aquatics Center. Forty-two dads and daughters from all
grade levels came out to kayak, play water games, and just have
some fun together. They began the day with prayer and then the
amazing staff at the center led everyone through an icebreaker
and a kayak tour of the lake. The group came back full of energy
and amazed at the beauty they saw. This event ended in prayer
and both dad and daughter saying what this day meant and
how much they loved this time together. St. Francis is blessed
to be able to offer such amazing opportunities for our girls and
their families that included not just education, but cultivating
relationships and understanding of the whole person.
