Thanksgiving Baskets

Over 100 Iona College students, faculty, and staff gathered at 4:00 pm on Monday November 19, in Mulcahy Gym in the Hynes Athletics Center, for the seventh annual Thanksgiving Basket Blessing. This year 119 baskets were donated by various Iona College individuals, clubs, teams,  and departments each of whom showed their support by creating their own unique Thanksgiving basket complete with a holiday message to the recipient family. 

"Being a part of the delivering the Thanksgiving baskets was a very humbling, yet rewarding experience. The moment we arrived we were able to see the vast amount of appreciation from the community. I consider myself very blessed and donating and delivering these baskets was the least I could do."
– Iona student, Matt 2014

Retreat for Busy People



I became involved with the Retreat for Busy People because well, I am a busy person! College has been great this first semester, but without a doubt, an exciting, yet challenging transition. Coming all the way from Florida, I wanted to participate in something that could keep my faith in check! I heard about the retreat and thought it would be great.


The retreat has helped me to realize that God is always listening to me. It's comforting to know that no matter what, whether we're busy, doing good things, or doing bad things, God is always there and will never leave.


I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to connect with their faith. I can guarantee that life becomes such a better and happier experience when you have a little bit of God by your side!- Ashley Hubaykah, 2016
