Twenty students from the College of Saint Benedict will be inducted into the Omega Chapter of Delta Epsilon Sigma (DES) on Friday, April 5.

A celebration of the Eucharist is at 5 p.m. at Sacred Heart Chapel, Saint Benedict’s Monastery, followed by dinner and induction ceremony in room 204, Gorecki Center, CSB.
