Other Information/ Requirements

•  The Eucharist is for us the very source and summit of our faith.  This is most powerfully experienced during the Thursday morning Mass at Las Obras with all the residents present. Very simply, Holy Mass provides for us every grace we need in order to be faithful, loving and able to serve with a heart like Christ.  Everyone on the Mission trip is invited and encouraged to attend daily Mass, even if the Mass is in Spanish.  For those unable to receive Communion, you are asked to make a spiritual Communion uniting your heart and soul with the Eucharistic Lord.  The U.S. Conference of bishops ask that, "All who are not receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to express in their hearts a prayerful desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one another."

• You must be at least 18 years of age to attend
