Matthew Shufflebarger is a rising senior at the University of Virginia where he studies engineering, and he spent two months here this summer serving in Banica.
Matt has connections to two parishes in the Diocese of Arlington - Our Lady of Angels Parish in Woodbridge, and St. Louis Parish in Alexandria. Both parishes have reason to be very proud of Matt.
He applied his engineering talent and heartfelt dedication to various projects, including the re-design of the water system in the Parish Center, a nicely made wooden pantry cabinet for the Kirby family, and a Blessed Mother grotto.
Photos above show the grotto and then his last weekend relaxing at the local waterfall with the Kirby Family.
I speak for many in expressing the hope that Matt will have the opportunity to return again here in the future. He really made a difference. Please pray for him as he returns for his final year at UVA.
