Canterbury has now joined the "Adopt a Dorm" program at McNeese. Each campus ministry has adopted a dorm to provide spiritual guidance and such to students. Canterbury will also assist the residents moving in along with other activities. This is a wonderful effort that gets the word out about the campus ministries and their programs. If you are interested in helping with this program, contact Jamie Simon.
