Mission trips

"The Church must step outside herself. To go where?
To the outskirts of existence, whatever they may be, but she must step out.
Jesus tells us: “Go into all the world! Go! Preach! Bear witness to the Gospel!"
-Pope Francis 

Where We Serve

    

Overview
St. Mary's Mission Trips are open to any college students attending Texas A&M or Blinn College.  There are several key components to St. Mary's Mission Trips including service, cultural immersion, and spiritual growth.  In order to have the most meaningful experience and to build a team community participants will be required to commit to all aspects of preparation, participation, and follow-up, including all preparatory and post-mission meetings.   

Application Process
Applications will open September 1st, 2018 for the 2018-2019 mission trips.  They will be available online and will be open until September 23rd at 11:59pm.  

We will have several informationals during September to offer you a chance to learn more about these mission trips!  They will be located in the St. Mary's student center on the following dates:

• September 4th (Tuesday) @ 6:15pm
• September 12th (Wednesday) @ 6:15pm
• September 23rd (Sunday) @ 1:30pm

If you are unable to attend these informationals and want to meet with one of the mission leaders, feel free to send us an e-mail (see below).  We would be happy to meet with you outside of these times.  

Selection Process

• All applicants will be required to complete an application in order to be considered for any of the mission trips. 
• The selection process will be done the week of September 24th and participants will be notified by phone/e-mail.  We select the teams based off a lottery system (where seniors will have 4 entries, juniors 3, sophomores 2, and freshmen 1).  
• Following your acceptance, you will be required to meet with the mission leader to go over expectations, commitment, and details.  This will be an opportunity for you to ask any other questions.  After this meeting is completed, you will be able to accept the trip. 

If you have questions or want more information, please feel free to contact us!
