This year’s Youth Mission Trip is to Duluth, MN on June 23-28! Mission trips allow youth in our parish the opportunity to grow in their faith through serving others, connecting with peers, attending daily Mass, participating in Eucharistic Adoration and Reconciliation, and answering God’s call to be a faithful follower.
Hannah Visser has attended two mission trips and shares the impact 
these trips have had on her life: “My name is Hannah Visser and I have attended the St. A’s mission trips for the past two years. The first one was to Nashville, Tennessee. This week opened my eyes and I realized that my faith is my life. I also learned that I love serving others and the importance of laying down your life for the good of someone else. Throughout this week I was also able to connect with other youth and leaders on the trip. By the end of the week we became a mission trip family. My second mission trip was to Alamosa, Colorado. I had some of the same experiences as my first mission trip plus more. I felt God’s presence like never before and that is a feeling that I will never forget because it changed my perspective on God. On this trip I started to realize what God was calling me to and what he has planned for me. This week was an opportunity for me to let God work through me and share my gifts with others. Spending a week focused on how I can grow and build my faith and surrounding myself with other people who shared that same passion, was exactly what God needed me to do. It changed my perspective and shaped my relationship with God. Thank you to everyone who has supported these past mission trips, they have been such a life changing experience for many. If you want to support this year’s trip, all donations and support are appreciated.”
As we prepare for this year’s mission trip, we are asking St. A’s parishioners to consider helping us in two ways:
- Pray for us! Use the “Prayer” tab of the mission trip website to let us know how you are praying for us & how we can be praying for you. We will read submissions every night and spend time in prayer–offering up these intentions with a nightly Rosary.
- Provide a financial contribution. You can make a gift online or contribute through our Envelope Fundraiser. Simply take an envelope from the bulletin board in the church with the amount you’d like to donate and return the envelope during the collection at Mass.
Thank you for your support! If you have any questions about the mission trip, reach out to Jake Burmis at 320-484-4864 or [email protected]
