Washington D.C.

New 2012 Spring Break Mission

 My FOCUS Mission Trip taught me how to be vulnerable to people whom I barely know and what it means to love selflessly and wholeheartedly. The Lord showed me that He is present in every given moment, if one only makes the effort to open their eyes to the beauty of those surrounding them in the here and now and stop dwelling on the past/future. Every moment is an opportunity to love and grow closer to Christ. The mission trip helped me to see that I am capable of utilizing every moment to bring greater glory to God!

Trip Director: Jake Mach

Mission Co-Leaders: Chris Rothschild, Josh Santo, Beth Santo, Ruby Behringer

Amount to Fundraise: $350* + Transportation to Washington D.C.

Experience the Nation’s Capitol as never before! Behind the glamour of our state buildings and beauty of our national parks and gardens lies a city where nearly 1 in 5 people live below the poverty line. As a volunteer on this mission trip you will work with local religious orders and organizations to bring hope to the homeless of Washington D.C.

As a part of this experience, we will also dive into the Church’s teachings on the dignity of the human person as we visit the United States Holocaust Memoria Museum and speak with a congressman about the Pro-Life debate on Capitol Hill.
