Leaf Raking

Leaf raking is one of the most anticipated ministry experiences of the fall here on the Hill.

St. Lawrence Seminary students are invited to go into the village of Mt. Calvary and rake leaves for various residents who are unable to do so themselves. Although a seemingly simple and “taken for granted” experience, the leaf raking is a first-time experience for many of our students. The joy in working as a team, jumping in large leaf piles, and feeling the cool autumn air, all add to the experience.
