Many people look to foreign countries in order to serve the poor, but there is need in our backyard. Come join us as we minister to those in need right here in Austin. Each day we will participate in service projects with various refugee homes and social outreach ministries, serving the poorest of the poor in the Austin area. Each day we will also celebrate Mass, hear a spiritual talk, and participate in Adoration to encourage a spirit of prayer and Christian service. Join us in forging a culture of encounter in prayer and action by sharing your life with those in need.

The Church must step outside herself. To go where? To the outskirts of existence, whatever they may be, but she must step out...In this 'stepping out' it is important to be ready for encounter. Why? Because faith is an encounter with Jesus, and we must do what Jesus does: encounter others...with our faith we must create a 'culture of encounter'.
