Youth Ministry Mission Trips

MS Local Mission Trip

Love Begins Here July 8-11 at Lumen Christi in Mequon, WI  

-->  Full packet of information is coming soon!   <- - 

St. Teresa of Calcutta, AKA - Mother Teresa, often taught that people didn't need to travel to Africa, South America, or even Calcutta to serve others, because "love begins at home." Every community has people in need, and we should start by serving there. Inspired by Mother Teresa’s devotion to Christ and service to the poor, Love Begins Here provides teens with an opportunity to encounter Christ through service, prayer, and Catholic community within our own Archdiocese.  

Who can go: This trip is open to any current 6-8th grade student. You can even bring friends from other parishes or school.  
What we'll do: We'll spend our days serving people and organizations in need. This work may be done for the elderly, homeless, handicapped, or by working with community organizations. After working each day we’ll return to our home-base where we’ll have free-time, share a meal, play games, debrief, pray, and sleep each night.  
Where we’ll stay: We’ll stay at Lumen Christi Parish in Mequon, WI, sleeping in classrooms.  
Cost: $150. We will not offer fundraising for this event, but financial aid is available.**

**Financial aid available. We never want finances to be the reason a child does not attend a mission trip, or any parish event. If you need financial assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.
