In case you missed it last week or want to return, this event is happening again this weekend!

On Saturday, May 13th, the Catholic Community at Stanford will help the Dominican Sisters at Corpus Christi Monastery in Menlo Park do yard work in their cloister gardens. They offered to provide lunch following the morning of work! Schedule for the day:

[Optional] 8 AM: Mass with Sisters in their Chapel

Corpus Christi Monastery is located at 215 Oak Grove Avenue, Menlo Park, across from the Church of the Nativity. It's about a 4-mile bike ride from campus or a 10-minute drive. We can help you find a ride if you need one.

What to bring:

  • Hat and sunscreen

  • Water bottle

  • Work gloves, if you have them

Please fill out the sign-up form >> [Google Forms] by Thursday, May 11th, so we can provide the sisters with a headcount. Questions: contact Eric Lebel at elebel@stanford.edu. To learn more about the Sisters, visit their website.
