NativityMiguel is a middle school in Buffalo that aims to transform the lives of underserved students in a nurturing and secure learning environment. In this spirit, NU welcomes NativityMiguel’s students and seeks to inspire them to think big and aim for higher education. The students will also sing during Opening Mass (see below). For more information, contact Marilynn Fleckenstein at ude.aragainnull@fpm.

Opening Mass
Friday, Sept. 25 – 12:20 p.m.
Gallagher Center, Upper Level

This Mass is in honor of the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul. Everyone from the university community is welcome. Free ice cream will be available outside of the Gallagher Center, beginning at 1 p.m.

Afternoon of Service
Friday, Sept. 25 – 2-5 p.m.
On-campus

Niagara University begins a new tradition this year with an on-campus “Afternoon of Service.”

NU’s local alumni chapter seeks volunteers to help sort and fold clothes from the St. Vincent de Paul clothing drive, or assemble snack packs for children in an afterschool Kidz Club program. Activities take place in the Gallagher Center’s Multi-Purpose Room. To highlight the store’s role in local and global sustainability, a screening of “The True Cost” will take place during the clothing drive service work in the MPR. The documentary film explores the impact of the global clothing industry on people and the planet.

Border Community SERVICE will also have a tabling event in the MPR with information on preparing pets in the event of a disaster or serious emergency.

In addition, weather permitting, students in the BOLD Club will be offering opportunities to work on the Sandal Falls project, which is a student-led initiative that collects and sterilizes gently worn sandals from the Cave of the Winds before distributing them to local, national and global areas of need. They will be stationed outside of Dunleavy and O’Shea halls. The sandals will be delivered to Uganda later this fall.
