Each year, a week-long mission trip is planned which takes place during the summer. These trips allow both adults and teens to become involved by participating in home repair while at the same time fostering their spiritual growth. Group Workcamps is the organization that structures our participation in these mission trips. This past June, 42 people traveled to Seminole, Oklahoma. It was an awesome trip that created lasting friendships within our group and allowed us to meet many new people.

If you are looking for a rewarding experience that allows you to help those less fortunate and grow in your own spirituality, this mission trip is for you. Incoming freshman through adults are encouraged to participate.

For questions regarding the mission trip, please contact Barry O'Donnell, Youth Ministry Director at (630) 355-4545 x 124, or by e-mail at bodonnell@st-raphael.com  

Plans are underway for next year's trip!
