The teens and I are humbled and overwhelmed by your generous support of our Summer mission trip. With your donations, we were able to send 12 teens and 3 adults to serve the residents of Wise County, VA. For many of the residents we serve, this is their first deep encounter with the Catholic Church, and our teens have the opportunity of being incredible witnesses of God’s love and provision. Please continue to pray for us, as we are for you. Click the header to visit our Youth Ministry page and to see video updates of our mission. And be sure to follow us on Instagram @sta_youth to follow our journey. Peace, Karl Meier
