Any student interested in working with residents at Dismas House, please contact Christine Caron, Assistant Catholic Chaplain, 2-3752. Dismas House is a transitional residency for ex-offenders to learn job training and to share fellowship as they integrate back into the larger society. A wonderful opporunity to learn about justice, fellowship, and reconciliation. VCC assists the Vanderbilt University community in providing these things to our local homeless population. Each week, November through March, students join St. Augustine Chapel to cook meals, make up beds, do laundry, and help homeless guests from the area have a confortable place to be on a cold night.
Some students are cooks while others spend the evening as innkeepers.
If you want to get involved, there is a place for you, too. For more information, contact Christine Caron, Assistant Catholic Chaplain, 322-2752. Ministers of the Word, Eucharist, and Music Students at Vanderbilt have the opportunity to be participants in our weekly Sunday Masses as Lay ministers. Ministers of the Word proclaim the scripture readings to the people of God. Ministers of Music lead us in song, psalm, and chant as we lift our voices in glory and praise.
