Mission: Jersey

Make a Difference… Join the Mission.

This year's Mission: Jersey (2024) will consist of FOUR, one day, in-person service events around the Diocese in July and August!  This Community Service retreat experience brings teens together from around the Diocese to GO OUT and live out our Catholic Faith to help those in need.
 

"For we are God's     workmanship, created     in Christ Jesus to do  GOOD WORKS, which     God prepared in     advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10

All teens in the 8th - 12th grade (including those who just graduated high school) are welcome!
    Please choose just ONE of the dates to attend. 

We will all meet at a Parish (or location to be named) for orientation, ice breakers and prayer before traveling to a worksite for the day.  All participants will learn about the projects they will be a part of and how it serves the community.  All projects will be arranged and supervised by adult leaders and representatives from the organizations we partner with.

 Please come ready to help in whatever way is needed! 

Please try to register at least one week prior to the date you are attending to help us best prepare for the event!

**It is expected that participants will be present for the entirety of the day. THIS YEAR it will NOT be possible to drop off a teen late or pick up early. 

**Advance registration is REQUIRED!** 

Specific times are based on location...
    please see the blue graphic above! 

This year instead of a monetary donation, we are asking each participant/parish to donate $10-$15 worth of an item or a collection of items as the "fee". 
    These items will directly be used in the projects of the day!
