2023 High School Mission Trip

Love Begins Here July 16-21 at St. Katherine Drexel in Beaver Dam, WI  

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 9-12th 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 St. Katherine Drexel in Beaver Dam, WI, sleeping in classrooms.  Financial aid available.
