Fundraiser for the NPH Immersion and Service Trip to Dominican Republic
We are delighted to have a group of 11 high school students from our Collaborative who, along with their chaperones, will be travelling to the NPH Dominican Republic home in August to experience life in an NPH home and assist with service projects with the community.
This weekend, June 8-9, at all St. John Masses we will be inviting parishioners to take part in a small fundraising effort to help defray the costs to our travelers. We will explain the fundraiser at the Masses, but if you would prefer to make a contribution online, please visit our Youth Ministry NPH page to make a secure, one-time donation.
We will be keeping you up to date with our progress in preparation for the trip, during our time at the home, and when we return.
Thank you so much for your support of our young people and their journey of faith and service.
