What an incredible journey! Over the course of five days, a group of our STA Stars walked the Camino from Vigo to Santiago, covering 62 miles together. Along the way, they reflected on faith, strengthened friendships, and met people from all over the world. Every step brought new experiences, meaningful conversations, and unforgettable memories. In Madrid, the group explored the city's rich history and culture, toured the Royal Palace and Cathedral, and even learned how to cook tapas. They also spent a special day in Ávila, the hometown of St. Teresa.

As the STA Choir tours Italy to perform in some of its most iconic churches and basilicas, we have enjoyed a few special connections along the way.

During a stop in Florence, members of the STA group caught up with Ella Pereira ('24), Addie O'Leary ('24), and Becca Welsh ('24), who are currently studying and working there. Also pictured at far right is Lauren Sweeney ('24), who was visiting with her family to watch her sister, Tessa ('27), perform with the choir.

From Kansas City to Florence, the STA connection remains strong.

Watch for more highlights from the Italy trip in the days ahead! 🎶

We join the Kansas City community in mourning the loss of William H. Dunn Sr., whose leadership, generosity, and commitment to service left a lasting mark on our city.

Throughout his life, Mr. Dunn championed philanthropy and civic engagement, supporting organizations and initiatives that improved the lives of countless individuals. His belief in leaving the world better than he found it continues through the many communities and causes he impacted.

We extend our sincere sympathies to the Dunn family and all who were touched by his remarkable legacy.

Afterward, we welcomed the start of summer break with a celebratory lunch at Boulevard Brewing. Wishing everyone a restful and joyful summer!
