Catholic Mission Trips for Young Adults. At the recent SEEK Conference in Salt Lake City I came to learn about Catholic Mission Trips. A wonderful group who equip Catholics in the call to be missionary disciples. Established in 2008, Catholic Mission Trips had its beginnings in 1998 with one youth minister and 10 teens. Inspired by St.Teresa of Kolkata and Pope St. John Paul II, Steve Nasche, a Youth Director for a Catholic Parish, wanted to do a mission trip to let American youth experience the culture and spirituality of Mexico, as well as assist the people by helping to build homes, chapels, and schools. Soon after, Steve had other Catholic parishes joining him. Thus, the concept of Catholic Mission Trips began. They have since grown into a full-service ministry and lead mission trips for young people all over the world. I understand that there are lots of people out there who would love to go on a mission trip, but just don’t have any connections or think it’s too difficult to plan. That is where Catholic Mission Trips, comes in. They do the planning and handle all the logistics for you. All the parish group needs to do is sign up and come. They handle everything else. They make it as easy as possible for groups to have a life-changing mission trip experience. They have been a part of mission trips to Mexico, Costa Rica, Cameroon, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Florida, Missouri, Honduras, Haiti, Belize, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, India and Louisiana. If you are interested why not make contact with the parish office.
