General Information RE: TRAVEL MISSION!
- Cost for travel missions is usually about $800, however this year the cost could be closer to $1000 per young person under the age of 25. Most of this cost is for the tuition with Catholic Heart Work Camp. Also we will be flying and will rent vans, cover the cost of fuel, and the adults' cost is absorbed by the teen missionaries. The deposit for this trip is $200 per participant under the age of 25. Deposits can be made on the payment form below. Young adults are invited on this trip as well and they serve in groups with other young adults while in Kansas City! Please submit documents as soon as possible and no later than February 1st. The application form asks that you:
- Participate in the Youth Ministry Program 60% of the time.
- Treat your fellow teen and adult Missionaries with respect.
- Serve those in need representing yourself, your family, and SS. Peter & Paul Parish.
- Submit all paperwork, deposits and payments on time.
- Participate in the 60% of fundraising events that are held in support of all missionaries.
- Daily Mass and experiences of community and spiritual enrichment are included in the adventure.
- We depart SS Peter and Paul on Saturday early AM. We will spend 2 nights in Kansas City in the days preceeding the service week so that we can have some bonding time and see the sites.
- Two full days of travel time on either end are figured into our dates. We will be staying at parishes along the way.
- 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 to drive. And it is 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. (Note in years passed late additions have been allowed. Due to the nature of a fly mission, late additions will be very challenging! Please submit forms and payments on time and plan to be involved in fundraising efforts from the beginning. This helps the whole group!)
- 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 First Travel Mission Trip meeting date is September 21st from 6PM-8PM in Room 11. Please make sure you are there!. We will talk about deadlines and the details of the trip including travel plans. This meeting will be for parents, chaperones and teens!
