Fr. Dan Reim Legacy ASB Scholarship Fund
As we said goodbye to Fr. Dan earlier this month, we were truly in awe of his 11 inspiring years at SMSP. Active in our community – tackling social justice issues – and always smiling, he will be greatly missed.
We have set up a Legacy ASB Scholarship Fund in his name to honor his remarkable contributions. When he arrived in Ann Arbor, there were 3 active ASB sites. This past year we participated in 9 domestic and 3 international sites, sending over 130 students from our community to serve those in need.
If you are interesting in donating to the Fr. Dan Reim Legacy ASB Scholarship Fund, envelopes are available in the parish office or you can give online.
