Kairos Reflection

Being a part of the Kairos retreat at Iona has been an incredible journey. Kairos to me is a new beginning, an opportunity to celebrate life, love and friendships (new and old). It was amazing this year to work as the director for the retreat. My favorite part about being the director was to see the leaders (who I saw as retreatants) inspire those on the retreat. It's been a remarkable learning experience and a journey that I wouldn't trade for anything. I know Kairos will keep growing and touching the lives of Iona students and I am so excited to see what will come next! To all those who have experienced Kairos, LTF. To those who have yet to experience Kairos, give it a try- it may surprise you!

Why do you participate in Go New Ro?

This will be my first Go New Ro as well!  I look back to a very similar program I did as freshman at Fordham and see how that was the transformative spark of my college life. I learned about the local community, fell in love with service, and began feeling at home in college.  I am so passionate about Go New Ro, because I can see the impact on the participants as they become leaders and do-ers at Iona. 

Favorite Thing about Iona?

Hands down, the Make a Difference Week Kickball Game between the Best Buddies and Success Center children.  We have the Pipe Band, an MC, the Dance Team and Cheerleaders and the participants and crowd have a blast enjoying an old fashion kickball game. 

Favorite Iona Tradition?

The Pipe Band! 

Favorite Thing to do in New Rochelle?

I love eating at Posto 22, which is a great local Italian restaurant that you will experience too.
