To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to verify that Danielle Klassen, a graduating Teacher Candidate from the University of
Windsor, has been attending the Campus Ministry Student Mass on campus of the University of Windsor
since September 2014. Prior to this time I understand that she was an active member of Holy Trinity
Parish in Trail, British Colombia and has received the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist,
and Confirmation.
Since fall 2014, Ms Klassen has been actively involved in the mass. She approached the campus ministry
staff very soon after arriving in Windsor in order to become a member of the Catholic community
quickly. She has been a reliable liturgical minister and has served as a lector, Extraordinary Minister of
the Eucharist, and commentator.
Over the course of the academic year, Ms Klassen took part in a faith development program run through
Assumption University, Aspire. This program included small group meetings with faith and scripture
based discussion where Teacher Candidates shared their faith education experiences, were guided on
practical theology and witness in the classroom, and participated in many fruitful discussions as future
Catholic Educators. The program also included an online reflection on faith in the classroom. Ms Klassen
was attentive and present during these meetings. Her online and in person responses were reflective of
a person who has faith as the focus of her life.
Ms Klassen has integrated herself into the Catholic student life through Assumption Universitys Campus
Ministry. She attends fellowship activities after mass the 4:00 Student Mass where students from all
faculties come together to share a meal and talk about their faith.
Ms Klassen would make a fine addition to any Catholic teaching staff. Should you have any questions
and need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

Fr. Paul McGill, C.S.B.
