Serving Others United in Love (S.O.U.L.) will again be hosting mission trips from Feb. 12-20. This year, S.O.U.L. will be taking nine trips around the United States.
S.O.U.L. will return to locations such as the De La Salle Blackfeet School in Browning,Mont., to work with students at the De La Salle Blackfeet School on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. S.O.U.L. will also return to the Catholic Worker House in Kansas City, Mo., to serve meals and minister to those at the house.
S.O.U.L. will also travel to Clinton, Iowa, to serve at the L’Arche Community. L’Arche was founded in 1964 by Jean Vanier in France. According to their official website, “L’Arche communities, family- like homes where people with and without disabilities share their lives together, give witness to the reality that persons with disabilities possess inherent qualities of welcome, wonderment, spirituality and friendship.” Those serving on the S.O.U.L. trip will assist residents of L’Arche with daily activities as well as work on other service projects. S.O.U.L. will also serve those affected by Hurricane Katrina at Camp Hope in New Orleans, La. Camp Hope is located near the French Quarter, which was heavily affected by Hurricane Katrina. Reconstruction efforts are still underway, and S.O.U.L. volunteers will help plant trees, install drywall and paint.
The Office of Campus Ministry is offering an international service trip to Guatemala from May 9-19. There will be an informational meeting at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 31, in the Michael H. Toner Student Center’s Room B. Applications are due to the Office of Campus Ministry by Feb. 8. The trip will cost about $1000.
