Community Service
Service to others is an integral part of our Catholic Christian life. The Campus Catholic Ministry at Union seeks to provide a variety of opportunities for students to live out this aspect of their faith during their college years. Students are invited to participate in the ministries of local parishes and also engage themselves in activities serving the needs of the larger Schenectady community.
Recent service projects have included:
- Weeding and planting gardens in downtown Schenectady as part of Union's John Calvin Toll Community Service Day.
- Participating in the annual campus Walk for Life to benefit cancer research
- Doing yard work at the new home of a formerly homeless immigrant family in Schenectady
- Painting the interior of a house in Schenectady being rehabbed by the Community Land Trust
