They will also spend time volunteering in the communities they visit.
Members of this group will travel to the Mustard Seed Community in the Dominican Republic, which serves children who have been abandoned by their families and who have special needs.
The trip will include tangible work projects to contribute to the residential care program and the opportunity to explore a different country and culture, as well as opportunities for daily prayer and reflection, while maintaining an inclusive and ecumenical approach.
