Like Mrs. van Schaijik, I have maintained beautiful, long-lasting friendships with members of my household and will cherish the many joyful memories from our college days together. Since graduating in 1989, I have often wondered how student life on campus has evolved.
Old habits die hard, it seems.
With this in mind, I would like to offer a personal insight into this issue. Just the fact that SLO thought it necessary to provide so many extra-sacramental formation programs seems to me to indicate an imbalance. As I understand it, the SLO's goal is to help students become strong, moral, Catholic people. This is unequivocally a great and noble goal. It seems to me the very opposite is more likely to happen.
