JESUIT SCHOOLS JOIN TO HELP RAISE MSA AWARENESS!

Posted on January 25, 2019 by - Uncategorized

Jesuit Schools Host the MSA Awareness Shoe!

In keeping with the Jesuit philosophy to advocate for people who are most vulnerable, the Jesuit schools unite with other institutions across the United States and the world – to help raise awareness about Multiple System Atrophy by hosting the MSA Awareness Shoe. We remember all those that have died due to MSA and we pray for them and their families.

Here are a few snapshots of the MSA Awareness Shoe’s visits to Jesuit sponsored institutions in the recent past:

Georgetown graduate students currently working on new MSA related research host the MSA Awareness Shoe in their lab at Georgetown’s School of Medicine.

The Shoe stops for a rest in front of Healy Hall at Georgetown University.

The Jesuits prayed for all those with MSA…

The MSA Awareness Shoe stops to honor all those graduates of Jesuit schools that have succumbed to Multiple System Atrophy (RIP).

At home with everyone who cares about those who suffer from Multiple System Atrophy – Georgetown research students.

Oops, let’s not stay here too long – ACID!

Stopped to pray outside Healy Hall at Georgetown University. The building was named for Patrick John Healy, S.J., the first African- American to become a Jesuit priest and the president of Georgetown following the American Civil War. Father Healy, please intercede for all those who suffer from MSA!

Oh, look what we have here!

Awaiting business class to begin at University of Detroit Mercy!

Impressive seal at Georgetown!

Ahhhh, time for a rest!

Jesus, we trust in you! – Help All Those with MSA!
