1. 2017 St. Patrick Summer Trips

2. NO! YOU JUST NEED TO HAVE THESE THREE ATTITUDES: A WILLINGNESS TO BUILD COMMUNITY WITH YOUR GROUP INTELLECTUALLY, SOCIALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY. THIS INVOLVES EXPECTED ATTENDANCE AT PRE-ARRANGED TRIP MEETINGS, PRAYER ACTIVITIES, SENDING FORTH MASSES, AND FUNDRAISERS. A RESPECT FOR THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE AND/OR TRAVEL TO BY COMMITTING OURSELVES TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PLACES WE WILL VISIT, LISTENING FULLY TO THE STORIES OF THE PEOPLE WE ENCOUNTER, OPENING OURSELVES TO GROW FROM THE EXPERIENCE, AND FULLY PARTICIPATING IN THE EXPERIENCE BY COMMITTING ONESELF TO SIMPLE LIVING THROUGHOUT THE TRIP. AN HONEST EFFORT TO APPLY WHAT WE LEARN FROM THE TRIP TO OUR LIVES. Are these trips for only really holy people?
