My name is Darren Stass, and I’m excited to bring Christ’s love to areas in need with Catholic Mission Trips (CMT). I grew up in Cary, Illinois, which is a suburb outside of Chicago. I graduated from Aurora University with a degree in Special Education. After a few years of teaching middle and high school youth, I entered the Seminary to discern a call to the priesthood. Since then I have stepped out of Seminary, but my heart is full of gratitude for the blessings God gave me while there. I can’t wait to share the blessings of God with others this summer! Please pray for us, and know of my prayers for you!

Favorite Scripture: I [Jesus] came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly. – John 10:10
Favorite Quotes: “There is no evil to be faced that Christ does not face with us. There is no enemy that Christ has not already conquered. There is no cross to bear that Christ has not already borne for us, and does not now bear with us. And on the far side of every cross we find the newness of life in the Holy Spirit, that new life which will reach its fulfillment in the resurrection. This is our faith. This is our witness before the world.” – Pope St. John Paul II

“Some people give to the missions by going, others go to the missions by giving. Without both, there are no missions.”
