Transitions of Traditions
This week has been about the transitions of traditions here at the College. We finished last week by putting our mark on the long and storied history of the Jesuit Mission Indian Bazaar. A huge thank you to all of you who helped with the Bazaar, whether by volunteering or attending, you make a huge difference for the people that Jesuit Mission serves. It’s a tradition of service that goes back 67 years. Rides have changed, the food has changed, the wheel of electronics has changed, the wheel of ham… is exactly as it’s always been.
There are many moments of gold around this College; precious and spontaneous moments that just appear in the daily life of staff and students. They are windows into a community that is blessed to have such a diverse and integrated set of opportunities that have been built by the past, are stewarded by the present and shaped for the future.
There is a special section of our Christopher Brennan Library where books written by Old Ignatians are displayed. Graduates of Riverview and members of staff leave their mark here in different ways. Since our earliest days, there have been those who have left their stamp in the written word.
