On April 4, several students from Southeastern Louisiana University offered their morning in service to the community during their annual "The Big Event." Holy Ghost is grateful to the students from the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority who helped clean up and organize items that have accumulated over time at our Parish Hall.


A little bit more about The Big Event:

The Big Event is one big day of community service in which the Southeastern Campus gives back to the surrounding areas of Hammond and Ponchatoula. The Big Event is different from other service projects because it is not based on socioeconomic need. The Big Event is a way for the entire student body and campus to express gratitude to residents who support them during their college career. Our local residents attend sporting events, donate to our college, and put up with the traffic and everything else that comes along with living around college students. Whether it is painting houses, raking yards, or laying bricks, the type of job is not important. The Big Event is not about the type of job we do or the number of jobs completed or how many students participate. Rather, it is the interaction with the residents and the resulting unity in the community that makes The Big Event so BIG!

Once again, thank you to the students who came to help with the cleaning and upkeep of our buildings!
