Mission to the heart of America!

Spring Break 2021 Social Justice & Service Immersion Trip will be in Joppa Mountain, Grainger County, Tennessee, from March 13-20, 2021.

We will partner with the Glenmary Fathers who serve the Appalachian community of eastern Tennessee. We will learn about the backwoodsmen, the mountaineers, the farm tenants, sharecroppers, and day workers and listen to their stories. We will tour the county to get a taste of Appalachian heritage. We end each evening reflecting on how we’ve experienced God that day in the faces of the poor and in the places we visited.

The trip will cost around $350 per person. This cost covers trip, room and board as well as accident insurance for each volunteer. There are 10 spots open for students to attend this trip, with Ann Schwartz and Fr. Bibin Mathew.
