Testimonies
- "The mission trip opened my eyes to how I could serve totally while still pursuing a career in the medical field. I was also able to form stronger relationships with my friends at the Catholic Center and make new ones. This experience opened my eyes to how the love of God is loving and active in every heart and inspired me to want to live out that reality."
  
  "It was an opportunity to engage with a great community and an experience that demanded humility and adaptability."
  
  "If I could describe this trip in a phrase, it would be, "mission accomplished." The things that I learned and reinforced from this trip are countless. Just to mention a couple, I was able to find ways to strengthen my faith, help others in need, and make some great friends that had a similar calling."
