Record Number at Community Day

On Saturday, September 28, Canisius came out in full force as 350 students participated in Campus Ministry’s first Community Day of the year, crushing last year’s previous attendance record of 275. Canisius served 24 community partners throughout the city of Buffalo working in a variety of ways. Thanks so much to all who came to serve the needs of some of the poorest people in the city and to work alongside those who serve their needs every day. Buffalo has been blessed with the gift of you!
