There are different ways I can find satisfaction in life, but I believe spiritual satisfaction through service to the Lord and His people is the highest form of pleasure man can attain. There is nothing more important and noble than investing in the Kingdom of Heaven, and this mission trip reiterated that to me. Everything about this trip continues to motivate me in my ongoing commitment to be a better person today than yesterday.

The robe clad Franciscan Friars of the Renewal are the famed proclaimers of the “New Evangelization” in some of America’s poorest inner-city environments. Our service will be right in their distinct apostolates including working in homeless shelters, working with AIDS patients, shelters for homeless single mothers, and even street evangelization in Time square!
