The involvement of the laity in mission
outreach is a growing ministry in our
Diocese. It includes high school students,
college students and adults in the work
force. Financial assistance is provided when
needed for college students and adults who
have heard and answered the call to
volunteer for short or long-term service in
various missions around the world.

Group Mission
Trips: Since 1993, our office has been sponsoring unique two-week group mission experiences in both the United States and abroad for seminarians and high school students entering their Senior year. The students raise their own money for these trips from part-time work, parents, relatives, and by reaching out for help from their parishes and schools when possible.

Announcements
are sent to DRE’s, Pastors and
Principals at Catholic High Schools
in December. The mission experience
has been expanded to include separate
one-week trips for adults who have
expressed a desire to serve in this
capacity.
Goals: It is our hope that more diocesan priests, religious and laity will respond to our call to be a spiritual director or chaperone for one of the mission experiences. The benefits of such an experience are beyond description.
