To cap Veritas Week earlier this month, a group of nine Tologs joined with Campus Minister Kelley Dawson and other Dominican high-school students in a weekend of service.
The students came from San Gabriel Mission High School as well as St. Agnes Academy in Houston, who first became acquainted with FSHA at this past summer's Dominican High Schools Preaching Conference. Anna Sklut, the St. Agnes campus minister, arranged to bring her delegation of 11 students to Los Angeles for their fall mission trip. The Tologs involved were Emily Sharp '13, Colleen Degnan '13, Claire Sigler '14 (along with her mom Jill), Jenna Gulick '13, Elizabeth Rojas '13, Katie Conley '14, Kirstin Valerio '13, Andrea Bennett '14 and Brikk Bralley '14.
Service began on Saturday, October 6, with work for Meals on Wheels at St. Vincent's and the Salesian Boys and Girls Club. In the evening, everyone gathered for a reflection on service at Griffith Observatory.
On Sunday, students and chaperones went to St. Robert's Center in Venice Beach, where they did clerical work in the office and prepped meals for 70 guests, and finished up on Columbus Day with a meeting and tour at Homeboy Industries.
"This trip truly helped our students, the women of SGMHS and St. Agnes see the connection Dominicans have, even across the country," Mrs. Dawson says. "Forming this relationship with St. Agnes was the perfect experience for our students. Now they want to go to Houston!"
