          R.O.C.K. (Reaching Out to College Kids) is the program that pairs up adult volunteer parishioners at SMG with our own SMG college students. The adult keeps in touch with the student via letters, notes, and/or e-mail.

          Simple things like sending a bulletin once in a while or letting the student know you are praying for them, especially during mid-terms or finals, can let a college student know that someone here at SMG besides their own immediate family has an interest and is praying for them.
