St. Zita was born into a poor but holy Christian family. Her older sister
became a Cistercian nun and her uncle Graziano was a hermit whom the local people
regarded as a saint. Zita herself always tried to do God's will obediently
whenever it was pointed out to her by her mother. At the age of twelve Zita
became a housekeeper in the house of a rich weaver in Lucca, Italy, eight miles
from her home at Monte Sagrati.Friday, January 27, 2012

Welcome Back!
Its a New Year, a new semester, and a new day! Welcome back to Marian University! This is your very friendly reminder of several things:
- STARR commences this Friday, January 13! Come and join us and kick off the new semester the right way, with a few hours of service.
- Invite your friends to come and check out STARR blog! With the coming semester, we hope to expand our blog and make it a service based social connection for Marian students and all interested in the spirit of service.
- Spread the word about STARR! If you're like me and failed to come up with a resolution before Lady Gaga dropped the Times Square Ball, make your resolution to go to STARR as much as possible!
