Summer Service Trips

Annually the youth group takes a number of service trips.  These trips may be local or to other parts of the country.  In addition to service trips, we have attended leadership camps and gone to the National Catholic Youth Conference.  We do fundraising to help defray most of the cost of the trips, therefore nothing can stand in your way of letting your light shine!  Contact Bill Nettekoven (739-3196) for more information.  Each summer Sacred Heart tries to take its high school aged youth on an over night service camp experience. This is a great time to bond with the youth and develop youth leaders. It also exposes them to situations not possible to be experienced locally.

A Catholic Approach to Service Summer service trips are committed to seeing the world from the perspective of the poor. Their engage participants in Catholic Social Teaching and take a Catholic approach to service. They seekss to help participants serve people in real need, to help make a difference in the community, not because it makes us better Christians, not because it makes us feel good, but because Jesus calls us to serve.

Meaningful Service

These trips provide direct and indirect service opportunities which are meaningful, allowing participants to learn more about social justice issues and see the effect their work has on changing lives. Building relationships and breaking down barriers are an intentional part of these programs.Each program site works with the needs of the community to provide a variety of service opportunities. These opportunities include serving the elderly, working in a soup kitchen, helping out with a children’s program, and even rehabbing homes. Your site coordinator will work with you to fit you with a service opportunity appropriate for your team. Positions:
