A history of Vincentian Service Day
Delaney Morrison | April 25, 2019
"Go - then" is a philosophy defined by noted Vincentian priest and author, Robert P. Maloney, C.M. Maloney suggests that at the heart of the Vincentian tradition is action. You must first go, step out from apathy or fear and act, and then reflect and learn from the experience. Go serve generously and then learn from others where further action may be needed and effective. Such an approach helps explain how the tradition of Vincentian Service Day came to be. This year's event is set for Saturday, May 4, and all members of the university community are welcome to participate.
