This month’s question:
Deirdre Gehant, parent and Packer fan asks, “Abbot Pennings, now August is here, it will be preseason for football. Just what is the history of the relationship between the Packers and St. Norbert College? Is it true they hold their training camp on campus? Are the Green Knight cheerleaders also Packer cheerleaders? Is one of our priests also the priest to the Packers team? Any other interesting tidbits to share?” Read the answer

Feel free to write the abbot at askabbot@snc.edu with your questions about the college. He’ll be sure to respond, and he will post his favorite questions.
