FAQ'S

Question: Why should I go on a SEND service trip?

Answer: Participating in a SEND program is a concrete way to put your faith into action and to learn about the structures in society that are unjust and tend to keep people in poverty. Jesus calls each of us to serve and going on a SEND immersion trip gives you the opportunity to do just that! Plus, you meet new people, travel to another part of the country or world, and see life from another perspective.

Question: What are the Spring Break destinations for 2010?

Answer: This year's spring break trips destinations are:

Baltimore, MD
Bay St. Louis, MS
New Orleans, LA
Philadelphia, PA
Washington, DC

During the winter break, a group will be traveling to Camden, NJ.

Past projects have included work with Habitat for Humanity, volunteering in an orphanage, providing a Spring Camp for kids in the South Bronx, serving in a substance abuse recovery community, and helping the Religious of the Assumption sisters continue to develop their new community in New Mexico.

Question: How much does it cost to go on a SEND. trip?

Answer: The Spring Break trips cost $150 per person (except for the Gulf Coast trips, which cost $400). The Mexico Mission costs $600.

Question: Where do we go in Mexico?

Answer: In 2008, the group divided up after traveling to Mexico together and served in three different locations - Mexico City, San Ildefonso (a rural area a few hours north of Mexico city), and Magdalena (a coastal, poverty-stricken area).
