SURVEY OF YOUR FAVORITE SAINTS
We need your feedback!
We are in the process of redecorating the University Catholic Center and a part of our plan includes the addition of iconography of saints throughout the Center. We want the icons selected to be reflective of saints that you, the members of our community, are drawn to and inspired by. Please take a moment to complete this short survey - it will play a large part in determining which icons will find a home at the University Catholic Center!
