Area 2 Opportunities: Service rooted in Catholic Social Teaching

• Fall Break Home Mission Experience: Staying home for Fall Break? Why not join BC Campus Ministry for a home mission experience! Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of Fall Break, we will gather at BCHS to prepare lunches to distribute to folks in need. We will then travel by minibus downtown, where we will distribute them. We will also attend Mass at St. John's at noon, and afterwards we will reflect together on how serving others brings us closer to Christ over lunch. Lunch will be provided each day. We will gather at 10:00 a.m. each day at BCHS and be back by 2:00 p.m. Each day will count for four Area 2 Service Hours! Signup for one, two or all days below. Sign up here!
