Annunciation House - El Paso, TX

Annunciation House

Each spring break, Campus Ministry sponsors a M.A.P. Trip to El Paso to raise consciousness about the issues facing the border such as immigration, economic development, human rights and social justice. More than being an informational tour, it seeks to immerse the participants in the border culture and the realities of the many people and groups that live and work there. The food that we will eat and the conditions which we will live in are as much a part of the experience as the people and agencies.

The experience will be at The Annunciation House, a house of hospitality for migrants, in El Paso, Texas. We will be living simply and in close quarters.

A typical day may include:

  • Visiting the US Border Patrol
  • Listening to the stories of migrants and refugees
  • Meeting human rights activists
  • Observing immigration court cases

L'Arche – Erie, PA

L’Arche – Erie, Pennsylvania
L’Arche communities attempt to build a normalized family environment for the mentally and physically disabled. Students will have the opportunity to live and work with the community members in a variety of capacities. Activities may include touring local malls or walking along the lakefront with the wheelchair group, spending the day with community members, or going shopping with elderly members of the community. This service is focused more on the ministry of presence rather than a lot of physical work. It will still leave you exhausted at the end of the day, more from joy and the special sense of love that you achieve when you work with the community of L’Arche. The group may be split up to live in different houses during the week but will meet each day for activities.

Resurrection Catholic Missions – Montgomery, AL

Resurrection Catholic Missions – Montgomery, Alabama
Located in the capital of Alabama, Resurrection Catholic Missions reaches out to the community around it. Some of the things that you may do here include assisting in the childcare center, working in Resurrection Catholic School (tutoring, P.E., reading, etc.), assisting with the elderly outreach program, gardening, or assisting with the addiction counseling program.
