This week St. Stephen's High School Youth are particicpating in the Young Neighbors in Action Youth Mission Week. We arrived in Yakima on Sunday, July 15th where we met new friends from Pullman, WA, LaGrange, TX, and our neighbors from Holy Spirit Church in Kent, WA. We spent time together getting to know one another, praying together and learning about the 7 principals of Catholic Social Teaching and more.
mperatures getting as high as 100 degrees, we have all come to appreciate the lovely cooler temperatures of the Seattle Area!!
Monday morning after starting the day with breakfast and prayer, the teens and adult leaders were presented with a challenge to go out and be the hands and feet of Christ to all those whom we encountere.
Young Neighbors in Action - Yakima Mission Trip
July 15-21, 2018
(For students completing Grades 9-12)
Each summer St. Stephen's High School youth are given the opportunity to put their faith into action by paticipating in a week of service. The summer Mission experience provides an opportunity for teens to open their heart to God's call to help the poor and vulnerable. Alongside their peer's, they will have the opportunity to serve those in need in our own "backyard" while learning more about Social Justice and our Christian response.
A LIFE OF SREVICE: Transform your life by sharing in the ministry of the Church through serving our brothers and sisters who are in need of your presence and help.
A LIFE OF COMMUNITY: Teens will live as the early Christian communities as they share in prayer, service and learning to be the hands and feet of Christ to others.
Adults are invited, as working partners and advisors, to attend and work alongside the youth. Adults volunteer are needed as drives, mentors and advisors. Participating teens and adults make a yearlong commitment to fundraise and grow together in support through team meetings and formation.
