STAY Missions was created in the summer of 2021 to meet a need of our local young people to be empowered to serve locally. Since then we have offered this opportunity every summer and it has been a huge success. We are now expanding the experience to include those in our surrounding area and in neighboring Dioceses. We are excited to be able to host the event at our local retreat center so as to offer a more immersive option along with our traditional daytime missionary option as well as a per diem option. There will also be an option for a Thursday night overnight experience for our daytime missionaries. We are excited to see service in action this summer!
