St Mary Parish is partnering with Our Lady of the Wayside Parish on this mission trip.
We are organizing a mission trip for next summer in July 2025. We are heading to a nearby, Niagara University, NY. We will be going to Our Lady of the Wayside Parish.
So what will we do? We will hook in with various area social service agencies.. Groups we would connect with are: food pantries, homeless shelter, nursing homes, area parishioners in need, the food bank and nursing homes, etc... We will also help with painting, minor construction and deconstruction and maybe even some yard-work.
This will be a fast paced and interactive week with opportunities for prayer, friends, community, sharing, fun, Mass and some sweat! We will also organize a fun 1/2 day off to blow off some steam too!
We are also in need of parent / adults to join us to help drive and chaperone.
What is the age for going: This trip is open to incoming freshman through college age students.
Mission trips are amazing and impacting opportunities to have a lot of fun, grow in friendship, serve others, grow in our faith and watch God work through our group and those we help out.
