Parish Missions
“Since they are members of the Church by virtue of their Baptism,
all Christians share the responsibility for missionary activity.”
- St. Pope John Paul II, Mission of the Redeemer
Parish Missions
Give your parish a mission trip opportunity! Whether it be a foreign mission trip or a domestic mission “trip” right at the parish, our Parish Missions are customizable to fit the unique needs of your parish. They can be tailored to large groups, open to the parish as a whole, or small groups, offered to core staff, an auxiliary group, or youth group. No matter the size, we can work with you to meet your particular needs.
Why Parish Missions?
Parish Missions provide great opportunities for parishioners to:
Work together as a team, building relationships and community.
Encounter Christ in the poor and marginalized, serving others as if it were Christ Himself (“Whatever you did for these least brothers of mine, you did it to me.” Matthew 25:40).
Enkindle and renew their interior life through Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, personal prayer and communal prayer.
Practice using the gifts God has given them to serve others, thus becoming “doers of the Word and not hearers only” (James 1:22).
Whether foreign or domestic, all parish missions provide unique experiences that deepens faith, strengthens a sense of community, and serves as a basis for living as Holy Spirit-led Catholics.

Foreign Mission Trips
Come visit the Amazon region of Peru! Embark on a 5-10 day mission trip where parishioners will leave the comforts of their normal daily lives and witness firsthand the needs of the poor in a developing country. Trips can be anywhere from 2-40 people. Each day will include personal and communal prayer, daily Mass (if a priest comes on the trip), work projects, home visits, and time for rest and recreation.

Mission Trip at the Parish
We will come to your parish to put on a mission trip experience modeled after our foreign trips. These trips can be from 3-6 days with parishioners going back to their home each evening (think “staycation”). Each day will include the same things as a foreign trip but instead of work projects, there are service projects within the community, going particularly to encounter the poor nearby. Parish Mission trips can be for any size group - large or small.
