Seminarians donate to Houston
School playground project

The LTSP student body raised $2,500 to help build a special playground for the children of the Houston School, located on Allens Lane near the seminary. A "speakers bureau" of youngsters from Houston came to the seminary to say thanks to the seminarians, and during the visit they received the $2,500 gift.
