Connection to CSJs and their ministries:

As mentioned above, Dave’s job at Avila University and co-founder of Jerusalem Farm has kept him close to the charisms of the CSJs. He currently serves on the Board of Directors at the Don Bosco Center. A Kansas City based organization providing a welcoming community for many elderly individuals. Don Bosco also provides English as an alternative language for more than 1,000 refugees every year. The Sisters of St. Joseph generously supported the Don Bosco Center through the Tabitha Grant.
