Service Project
The Mexico Service Project offers high school men the opportunity to live solidarity. Through a maintenance and construction project that is both demanding and rewarding, volunteers will discover the great joy of sacrificing themselves for others. They will also benefit from the unique opportunity to interact with local Mexican students, learning about their culture and way of life. Participants will also have the opportunity to take advantage of spiritual activities such as confession, daily Mass, and regular times for prayer.
