Mission Trips ’08 Basics

Osage Indian Reservation

Pawhuska, Oklahoma

Sponsored by: Youthworks!

Available to any youth currently in grades 8-12

July 6-July 11

During this mission, we will focus on two areas of ministry: children and home improvement.  The teens will have an opportunity to lead a hands-on afternoon program known as Kids Club.  Kids Club offers the children of Pawhuska an opportunity to learn about Christ through high-energy games, crafts, skits, songs and interactive lessons.  The other part of the week the teens will help rebuild homes for those who can’t afford to repair them.  By doing this, we help bring hope to and give pride to the citizens of Pawhuska.  The evenings will be filled with activities that are designed to incorporate the Osage culture.  For more information on the Osage people, visit www.osagetribe.com.

Chicago, Illinois

Sponsored by: Young Neighbors in Action

Available to any youth currently in grades 9-12

July 20-July 26

During this mission, we will focus on one of several areas of concern.  The teens will as a group evaluate our abilities and therefore recommend to the Program Directors what task we are best suited for.  These tasks include construction and repair of homes, involvement in children’s and family programs, or providing direct assistance to those in need.  The evenings will be filled with activities that are meant to give the youth an opportunity to network with other Catholic youth from around the country.
