Nicaragua Mission Trip 2023
We are so excited to have so many missionaries already registered to travel to Nicaragua on behalf of our parish this summer. There has been so much enthusiasm that we’ve decided to leave our registration open a little bit longer. Hopefully, this extra time will allow those of you who were waiting to finalize your summer plans to join us to work and serve alongside our friends in Nicaragua.
Registration will remain open until we reach capacity.
