General Information!
- Cost for travel missions is usually about $600-$800. Most of this cost is for the tuition with Catholic Heart Work Camp. Also we rent vans for those who do not want to drive personal vehicles, eat food on the way there and back, cover the cost of fuel, and the adults' cost is absorbed by the teen missionaries. The deposit for this trip is $250 per participant under the age of 24. Deposits can be made on the payment form below. After May 1st the cost will increase to $300 per person. Young adults are invited on this trip as well and they serve in groups with other young adults while in Montana! Please submit documents as soon as possible and no later than May 5th.
- Daily Mass and experiences of community and spiritual enrichment are included in the experience.
- We depart SS Peter and Paul on Saturday early AM. We will spend 2 nights on the road as we travel to Montana. We are hoping to be able to tour Carroll College in Helena, Montana on our second day of travel! We arrive at camp on Monday midday for check-in and Orientation. Service groups head out every day to serve those in need in that community Tuesday to Friday. We depart Saturday and arrive home late on Sunday.
- Two full days of travel time on either end are figured into our dates. I am working on our accommodations at parishes along the way. Please pray that this will be an option as it is much more affordable!
- To attend this service trip young people must be in the age range of incoming High School freshman to graduated senior and above! Adults will be needed to chaperone and drive. And this year it will be required that all missionaries participate in Youth Ministry and in fundraising. And you will be required to fill out an application as part of the process. Commitment is important and the team depends on you.
- We will have a Pancake Breakfast and car wash April 30th and June 4th and the Fiesta Dinner in May. Sign up to help! The links will be in the Flocknote! See's candy sales at Christmas and Easter. You've Been Egged is also on the calendar for Easter along with Jewelry Sales in April and May.
- If anyone gets donations specifically for them, it will be noted in a separate account and designated for that specific missionary and that amount then helps lower the overall cost for everyone!
- Our kickoff Mission Trip meeting date is September 15th at 6PM in the Multipurpose Room! Please make sure you are there even if you are not sure you are able to attend the trip. We will talk about deadlines and the details of the trip including travel plans. Your input will be needed and valued! This meeting will be for adults and teens!
- UPDATE: Since noone attended the meeting, please submit deposits and permission forms to my office not later than October 1st so that I know how many spots to reserve on October 5th when the registration opens. This site is very popular and it is the only one we are close enough to attend.
