Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - Day of ServiceMonday, January 20, 2025

Action for Change 

On MLK Day, St. Peter and Gustavus will join together in honor of Dr. King's legacy to build a “Beloved Community” and work on issues of social justice and equity. MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all people to engage with their community and create constructive action. As the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?''
