Last Semester we had theREVOLUTION: The Unveiling was held on campus on Sept. 22nd, we had close to 100 students there, it was a success for St. Mary's, our promo material was out all over campus and it attracted lots of students. We signed up 70+ students to be in TOB study groups led by leaders that went to the TotB training retreat. Tonight is our kick off for more TOB study groups. Monica Ashour from TOBET (www.tobet.org) will be back with us again. Join us @ 7 pm in the Student Center Suite B. Come & learn how to honor God with your body.
