MISSION AND MINISTRY |
“If you really want to make a friend, go to someone’s house and eat with him …The people who give you their food give you their heart.”
— Cesar Chavez
The LMU community is invited to attend the 15th annual Interfaith Prayer Service in Celebration of the Life and Legacy of Cesar Chavez. This event holds special meaning and place in the life of the university as a unique gathering that brings faculty, staff and student body together to celebrate those whose labors keep LMU running smoothly every day throughout the year – the LMU Facilities Management employees and the Sodexo Food Service Workers.
It is on this day that we celebrate the commitment and sacrifices that Cesar Chavez made for the betterment of farm workers. His passion for a justice that spoke truth to power inspires LMU students to reach out beyond themselves to others.
And, it is in this spirit that, for the past several years, the LMU students set aside this time to pause, pray, remember and reflect on this legacy by providing this prayer service followed by an appreciation luncheon for the Facilities Management staff and Sodexo Food Service employees who work on this campus.
