August 28 is the first day of classes at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. That means last weekend was Move-in Day for freshmen and new students.
Watch the video above to see how Move-in Day feels to a mom, as dramatized by an incoming Benedictine College freshman under the direction of Benedictine College’s Nathan Pickman. Below, see Mary Asher’s pictures of the monks of St. Benedict’s Abbey helping students move into their back yard. Last, see pictures of the opening day Rosary (with a bonus video, too!)
And pray for our students as the school year begins!
