Evans About 35 youth took a mission trip in July to serve the poor and those in need, but they didn’t really go far.

The youth spent a week taking part in A. Brandon Photos by Evans the Homeland Mission Project, a first-time event for the archdiocesan Office for Youth and Young Adult Ministry. During each day, the young people took turns serving different Indianapolis agencies in small groups: the Cathedral Soup Kitchen, Miracle Place, Holy Trinity Adult Day Care Center, St. Augustine Home for the Aged, St. Elizabeth- Coleman Pregnancy and Adoption Center, and a day camp for Hispanic children operated by the Missionaries of Charity. Then, following a day of service, the youth returned to their overnight facilities at Christ the King Parish and Bishop Chatard High School for Mass, prayer and free time.
