Vegetarian soup for the Saint Francis soul : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

Have you ever read Chicken Soup for the Soul? It contains many stories written by different authors about life and other various topics. Reading the stories is typically an uplifting and touching experience. During the 2008-2009 school year. I lived at the Saint Francis of Assisi parish and Newman Center near campus. I created a project involving the people there. the finished product is a book entitled I vegetarian .Soup /01 the Saint Francis Soul and is a compilation of shared stories written by student and resident parishioners of the Saint Francis community.This project was challenging in many ways. Although the idea was generally well-liked. it was difficult to motivate many people to submit their stories. I had never participated let alone coordinated a project of this kind. The stories and memories written by our own community. are evidence that God is at work in our lives. Creating this book has impacted my life and the lives of the members of the Saint Francis community.
