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.
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. In previous
years, works sites have included: Missionaries of Charity Day Camp, Homeless Initiative Mission, St. Elizabeth
Coleman, Cathedral Soup Kitchen and A Caring Place.
When is Homeland Mission?
This year's Homeland Mission Project begins on Sunday, July 5 and runs through Friday, July 10. The doors open for registration at 6:00PM* on Sunday, July 5. There will be a closing Mass on Friday, July 10 at 3:30PM; parents and family are welcome to attend.
*Dinner will NOT be served on Sunday, July 5 so please be sure to eat before you arrive.
Where is Homeland Mission being held this year?

Why should I go on Homeland Mission 2009?
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!
