Faith in Action
SEND Service Trips
The SEND Service Immersion Program offers students the opportunity to be transformed by serving people in need. By immersing themselves in another culture, students begin to gain awareness of social issues that contribute to poverty and injustice and hold people back from achieving their God-given rights as human beings. SEND immersion experiences take place during winter, spring and summer breaks in the following locations.
Winter Trips
- Duran, Equador
- Tuscaloosa, AL (Catholic Charities- Operation Helping Hands)
Alternative Spring Break
- Baltimore, MD (Habitat For Humanity)
- Camden, NJ (Romero Center Ministries)
- Florida (Immokalee Friendship House)
- Georgetown, DE (Habitat For Humanity)
- Pennsylvania (Habitat For Humanity)
- Staten Island, NY (Project Hospitality)
- Trenton, NJ (Center For FaithJustice)
- Washington, DC (Bethlehem House, Food & Friends)
Summer Trip
- Pine Ridge, SD (Re-Member)
The SEND program inspires students to be agents of change in their own lives and in the lives of others. Those who participate in SEND attend preparatory meetings before their time of service and reflect on their experience in the light of faith. Participation in this program is by application.
Costs are reasonable because fundraising is available. For more information about SEND service trips and Frequently Asked Questions, click here.
