What: Love begins here is a faith building mission trip to help those in need right here in Wisconsin.  You will spend time doing God’s work helping people/families in need as organized by the hosting church.  You might be painting a fence, weeding a garden, cleaning a garage, feeding the needy, helping the elderly -  the possibilities are endless and depend on the community's needs.  You will also participate in worship, prayer and fun activities while making great new friends.

How - Transportation will be arranged by the parish leader and will be provided by our Lead Missionaries (adult volunteers) who will be on the mission with you and provide all necessary transportation during the mission.  We will depart from and return to St. Joseph Church. 

Can’t make our dates - Don’t worry you can still participate in all the fun by going as a lost sheep - you will be simply joined with another group.
