Guatemala Mission Trip
Donation protected
Hello.
My name is Veronica Schommer. I'm a Junior at Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School and a member of the Ave Maria Youth Group in Lexington and Port Sanilac.
This summer, I am trying to raise enough money, so I can go on a mission trip to Guatemala in July with the Legionaries of Christ (Mission Youth Detroit).
There, we will be helping the locals while they begin to build a new Catholic Church. We will also be helping around 200 children learn their Catholic faith. In Guatemala, we will also be delivering needed supplies and visiting a local orphanage.
I'm asking for help in raising enough money to pay for my registration, airfare, passport, and orphanage supplies.
The cost of the trip is high, so I'm asking for help from family and friends (in addition to the summer jobs I will be taking).
If you can contribute to my gofundme page, or if you are in need of a local babysitter, someone to do light yard work or housekeeping, keep me in mind.
This will be my first mission outside of the United States. Over the past 2 years, I've been involved in mission trips to Chicago, Detroit and Cincinati where we helped those who were homeless and children in need.
Please keep me and all of the other Mission Youth in your prayers.
God Bless You!
GUATEMALA MISSION
http://www.missionyouthdetroit.com/guatemala-2019.html
This July, a team of Mission Youth Detroit missionaries will head to Carmen, Santa Cruz Naranjo, Guatemala for an 8-day mission adventure. The local village of Carmen is near a coffee and sugar cane plantation, where most of the families work in some capacity. There are about 280 families in the village, some of whom live in extreme poverty.
The current mission project involves building a parish church and helping with evangelization in the area. The current church is in poor condition, and the local community is in the process of fundraising to repair and rebuild the facility. The amount of construction work we do will depend on the progress made come July. Spiritual evangelization work includes opportunities to interact with the townspeople, local schools and orphanages by hosting kid’s camps, giving spiritual talks, leading sports activities and organizing liturgical celebrations. The last day of the mission is a visit to the museums in the tourist area of Guatemala City.
