More than two dozen teens from Xavier High School are going on a mission trip to strengthen their faith.
29 students kicked off their four-day trip to Maryland on Monday, August 5.
The incoming sophomores will visit First Fruits Farm and live off the grid while they harvest produce for local soup kitchens and food banks.
The trip is an opportunity for prayer and reflection for students committed to deepening their faith.
This trip is part of the school’s Companions of St. Francis Xavier Service and Immersion Program.
It allows students to gain a deeper understanding of the world while using their gifts of service for others.
