You learn more about yourself when you learn more about others. * Tithe your talents. Give back to those who were not as blessed to receive the two greatest gifts offered at Benedictine College. Your education and your faith. * Obtain Spiritual Lasic Surgery ... that is the ability to see as Christ sees. Confession and the Eucharist

GLEN CARBON - Goshen Coffee Roasters has opened its third location in Glen Carbon. Located at 1 Junction Dr. West in Glen Carbon, the new cafe will have Goshen’s signature menu, homemade ingredients and locally-roasted coffee. Jennifer Hughey, who owns the business alongside her husband, sister and brother-in-law, explained that the move to Glen Carbon was a natural decision. “We just think it’s a really great location and a great community for us to be a part of,” she said. “The community is awesome, and we know that a lot of those people already know the Goshen name. But we also feel like it was really an untapped market for us.” With one cafe in Edwardsville and another in the Soulard neighborhood of St. Louis, Goshen is already familiar to many Riverbend residents. But Hughey hopes the Glen Carbon community embraces the new cafe and its unique “Good S*** Energy mission.” She added that everything in the cafe is made “pretty
