A Message from the Student Leadership Team

In honor of All Souls’ Day, we invite all members of the FST community to submit photos of your loved ones who have entered eternal glory with God. We will be creating a slideshow to remember and celebrate their lives, which will be shared with the entire FST community on All Souls’ Day via email. 

Please include a photo along with their name and a few words to describe how they are related to you (e.g. friend, cousin, mother-in-law). Let us come together (virtually) and remember and honor those who have touched our lives.

Please send your submissions to brucetran@sandiego.edu by Monday, October 21, 2024.
