Catholics in Action: The diocese is hosting a mission/service trip to Iowa City on June for our junior high students. Current 6-8th graders are invited to spend a day at the Iowa City Catholic Worker House spending time with refugees that need help transiting to the Iowa City area. Our kids will have a chance to listen to the stories of people that have fled their homeland for a better life for them and their children. This year we will hear witness stories from people that immigrated here from Mexico, Honduras and Congo. The other two days, we will be working with several different organizations in the Iowa City area. We are also looking for high school students to help facilitate the mission trip through Catechesis and Evangelization. I feel this is a great opportunity to help our children experience first hand of what is happening with the immigration situation. If interested, we need adults to drive vans to work sites. Again, this a way to help build the Catholic Church in the community.

May you live and care with kindness and grace, and know within your soul, courage and faith. You will be wrapped in the warmth of your family and friends, and rays of love will shine on you without end.
