I am writing to express my family’s sincere gratitude for the influence of Sister Seton, Sister of Notre Dame, in our lives. She is the Director of Service in Campus Ministry at Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C. Sister Seton is one of the kindest, most compassionate people we have ever known and we are sincerely grateful for her friendship and for her presence on our campus. She is committed to social justice and helping those who are less fortunate, and has endless energy and enthusiasm for her work. She is respected and admired by all who know her: faculty, students, and members of the greater Washington community. In everything that she does, she models what a true, loving follower of Jesus Christ should be, by her word and example.
Our sons have graduated from Gonzaga and continue to feel her influence. As college students they have continued their service activities, which were inspired by Sister Seton, and continue to keep in close touch with her because of the respect and admiration they have for her and for her work. She truly helps the young men of Gonzaga High School to become “men for others” who are committed to social justice, and for this we are truly grateful to our wonderful Sister Seton.
