Mission Trips

Every year, several parishes within the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston organize local, regional, and international mission trips to bring God’s message of Faith, Hope, and Love to the young, marginalized and oppressed, especially the poor. Team members generously offer their time, talents, creativity and wisdom in service of those in great need.

These trips are well organized and have existed for many years. We would love to have you join us on a trip and be part of an incredible week of ministry as well as experience new cultures, visit new places, and meet amazing people.

If you are looking for...

• immediate friendships and lifelong connections
• a way to share your blessings with others, whether time, talent or treasure
• a way to make a lasting impact in communities of need

...then mission trips are for you!
