1 day, 1,400 handsThe beginning of every semester is marked with a day-long, University-wide service event called Continuing the Heritage, when you gather with more than 700 other students, faculty, alumni and staff to collectively offer over 3,500 hours of volunteer service in the local area.

Our community, our homeBeing neighborly sometimes means doing manual labor like creating pocket parks, or preparing local residents’ taxes for free on Saturdays during tax season. In 2010, St. Mary’s Neighborhood Revitalization Project, in conjunction with the Office of District 7 Councilman Justin Rodriguez, announced the St. Mary’s Gateway District, giving the community an official name.

Inclusively faith-basedWhile 65 percent of our students are Catholic, our University Ministry pastoral team promotes spiritual development and growth in community among students of all faiths. In addition to daily Mass and two Masses on Sunday, University Ministry offers prayer gatherings, student retreats, ministry opportunities, and faith and justice activities.

Serving as a role modelMany St.$Mary’s students tutor seventh graders in the San Antonio Students Stand and Deliver program, working on the skills that will eventually help them excel on the SAT college entrance exam.

“I love how easy it is to get involved in service outreach at St. Mary’s.
