Omaha, Neb. 鈥� 含羞草视频 is participating in the 鈥淓xtraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy鈥� proclaimed by Pope Francis by focusing on the college鈥檚 core value of 鈥淐ommitment to Compassionate Service.鈥� The College in 2016 will present a series of presentations and events tied to the Year of Mercy.

鈥淲hen he proclaimed it to be a 鈥淛ubilee鈥� year,鈥� says CSM Executive Director for Mission Integration Marian Standeven, 鈥淧ope Francis referred to the biblical understanding of jubilee, where the mercies of an all-loving God would be particularly manifest; where prisoners and slaves were freed, debts forgiven and injustices righted.

鈥淭his organizing theme of Compassionate Service calls the entire CSM community; staff, faculty and students to Mercy and Service through everything we do; our work, service opportunities, study, rituals, discussions and gatherings,鈥� Standeven adds. 鈥淭hrough our efforts we can all engage and be in solidarity with world-wide efforts to manifest the Mercy of God.鈥�

The Year of Mercy events at CSM begin with a Lunch Series with themes of Mercy:

Tuesday, Feb. 16, noon-1 p.m., Mercy Hall Conference Room. 鈥淛ustice: Being in Right Relationship with God鈥� with Sr. Aline Paris, PhD. professor of theology; and Marian Standeven, executive director for mission integration.

Tuesday, March 22, noon-1 p.m., Mercy Hall Conference Room. 鈥淛ubilee: Exploring the 鈥楥aptive鈥� in our World鈥� with Sr. Kathleen Erickson, RSM.

The theme of Mercy will continue through the fall.
