January Blood Drive

On Wednesday, January 23, a Red Cross Blood Drive was held at Mount Angel Abbey.  Many seminarians, seminary faculty, other Abbey employees, and monks donated blood.  According to Winnie Bolton, one of the main organizers of the blood drive, the next blood drive at the Abbey will occur in the fall.
