“God bless and thank you and the entire Saint Mary’s University Community for your on-going prayers and support. We have grateful hearts.

“The city and citizens live in and with uncertainty. While the storm was 20 months ago ... hard to believe ... the areas of the city that the storm destroyed are still unliveable. Slow progress is being made to rebuild. Homeowner’s insurance is difficult to get on properties, causing growth and rebuilding to be very slow.

Please know in a world of differences Saint Mary’s University is making a world of difference in the lives of our students, families and faculty.”

Twenty-two faculty, staff and students cleaned up Gilmore Creek as part of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resource’s Adopt-a-River program.

A wheelbarrow, bicycle, three sleds, as well as nine bags and one barrel-full of garbage were collected. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped keep the creek clean!
