- Faith as a guiding light: Why the biblical promise "for I know the plans I have for you" anchors her leadership through ambiguity and change.

- The eight-foot pilgrimage cross: Students carrying a handcrafted cross along North Bay's waterfront, experiencing the Stations of the Cross and learning what it means to help others carry their burdens.
