Bellarmine University began the academic year with a Mass, pizza supper, and a Catholic Fair on August 24. The event was organized by the university’s campus ministry to help students connect with local Catholic organizations and learn about opportunities for involvement.

Booths at the fair provided information about several groups, including Franciscan Kitchen, Catholic Charities of Louisville, the Office of Vocations, and BUCatholic, which is a student organization on campus.

According to organizers, the goal was to introduce students to resources and volunteer opportunities within the Catholic community as they start their school year.
