Registration & Deposit Deadline for High School Youth
Sunday, January 19
Information regarding the summer 2014 mission trips is FINALLY available!!! This summer, two mission trips will be offered, one for high school and one for middle school youth.
The high school mission trip will be through Tri-Cities Workcamps, July 20-26. Two important items can be accessed through the St. Mary’s youth webpage: an informational flyer from Tri-Cities Workcamps and a Youth Mission Covenant document outlining some expectations for youth who participate in this year’s mission trips.
Please note that in order to secure your spot, a non-refundable registration fee of $50 must be mailed to St. Mary’s by Sunday, January 19, along with a signed copy of the Youth Mission Covenant. We have made arrangements to secure 13 youth spots (with 3 adult chaperones), so please register as quickly as possible since these spots will held on a first-come-first-served basis as registration deposits (along with signed covenants) are received.
A local, homegrown mission trip for middle school students is currently being developed in cooperation with Goochland Family Services. More information, including a registration deadline will be available soon, and we are anticipating this trip to be held mid- to late-June.
