An Overview of Our Mission Trips

Our Mission Trips will Incorporate:

1) Spiritual Exercises every day including things like Mass and Personal Refleciton.

2) Mission work either domestically or internationally with a focus either on corporal or spiritual works of mercy. Our trips will either be focused on manual labor, such as helping to build or rebuild in a community, or spiritual labor through serving others at soup kitchens, making food runs, or just spending time with people in need.

3) Cultural learning and sharing which will result in personal enrichment. This will include things like exchanging stories and details about every day life with fellow missionaries but more importantly the people we are serving and just spending quality time in fellowship with the local community.

4) So much More!
