On Oct. 23 and 25, the entire NDCL junior class fanned out to 14 sites across northeastern Ohio to provide direct service to persons in need as they experienced Catholic social teaching in action for the annual Junior Justice Retreat.
Among the sites visited were Maggie’s Place, a home for mothers and babies in Garfield Heights; the Cleveland Catholic Diocese’s Migration and Refugee Services Resettlement Center; and Malachi House, a home on Cleveland’s West Side that provides no-cost hospice care to the terminally ill. Other service sites included St. Francis School, St. Adalbert School, and Metro Catholic School in Cleveland as well as the West Geauga Senior Center in Chester Township and Rescue Village in Bainbridge Township.
On the morning of Oct. 26, the admissions office sponsored the third annual Step Up to Serve program, which engages eighth-graders with current NDCL students for a morning of service. Participants worked at Maggie’s Place, Rescue Village and Maplewood Senior Living in Chardon.
Campus ministers Halle McKeon and Patrick Basista coordinated the Junior Justice Retreat, while Admissions Director Michael Suso and assistant Admissions Director Quinn Malone led the Step Up to Serve Program.
