Who can participate in Homeland Mission?
The Archdiocesan Homeland Mission Project is open to all youth entering their Freshman through Senior year of high school in the coming fall.
Registrations are limited to the first 50 youth who complete the registration process.
Register early to guarantee a spot!
What is Homeland Mission?
It is an opportunity for young people to spend a week in our own community serving those in need. The goal of the week is that the young people see Christ in those they serve, and that those they serve, see Christ in
them.
Each day starts with prayer, and then they board their van which will take them to their work site for the
day. In the late afternoon there is time for free time, personal reflection, Mass and social activities. This year, Homeland Mission is temporarily relocating the service area to the New Albany Deanery, assisting those affected by the tornados earlier this year and helping other agencies in the area - staying true to the mission of this project.
When is Homeland Mission?
This year's Homeland Mission Project begins on Sunday, June 24 and runs through Friday, June 29.
Check-in will begin at 3:00 PM on Sunday, June 24 at Holy Spirit Parish (7243 East 10th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46219) and will be followed by an Opening Mass at 3:30 PM. Parents and family are welcome and encouraged to attend. Mass will be followed by a brief parent meeting and departure for Mount Saint Francis.
Groups will return to Holy Spirit Parish on Friday evening, June 29 between 5:00 PM and 6:00PM.
*Dinner will NOT be served on Sunday, June 24. Please pack a sack dinner for the trip.

Why should I go on Homeland Mission 2012?
The Archdiocesan Homeland Mission Project is a great opportunity to serve those less fortunate than ourselves and to truly be the hands and feet of Christ to the world. It is also a great chance to meet other teens from around the Archdiocese and enjoy experiencing the Universal Church in a new way.
Apart from the service each day, there are social events and activities that provide a chance to relax and just have fun.
Of course, our service and friendship must be rooted in Christ and His Church, so Mass and prayer help provide a solid foundation for the week. Many teens leave the week saying how Homeland Mission has helped them become closer to Christ.
So why should you come on Homeland Mission? Service, Friends, Fun, and most importantly GOD!
