Spring 2022 Magazine

As the trees on Yale's campus fill their branches with leaves, this issue of STM Magazine has filled with pages. We bring you a thirty-two-page issue! Campus was bustling with activity this spring, reminding us of what we lost in spring 2020 when we cancelled our Alternative Spring Break trips at the last minute. Those cancellations signaled the beginning of our ministry’s “pandemic era.” What a joy it was to bring them back this spring! This year, our Assistant Chaplains led two ASB trips—one to the San Francisco Bay Area of California and one to El Paso, Texas. Our students were so eager to go out into the world and learn about how their faith connects to service, that we have dedicated a large portion of this issue to their reflections and experiences.

Our spring issue would not be complete without a tribute to our graduates whose college experience was like no other. Our Class of 2022 was resilient and patient with the ever-changing COVID-19 protocols that marked their years at Yale. This issue honors them by including their photos in a special spread. And while we are thinking about the future of the Church, we want to also reflect upon our past. Next fall marks our 100th Anniversary of Catholic campus ministry at Yale. Sarah's article about Yale's burgeoning Catholic campus ministry will get

you excited about the special events planned for next academic year.
