Mission
We serve in Belleville and East St. Louis. Serving alongside the Missionaries of Charity and Sleep in Heavenly Peace, we are serving underserved communities.
Housing
Housing in Kentucky will be at a local church, volunteer center, or high school. Men, women, boys, and girls will have separate sleeping areas. Check with your site coordinator on further housing details.
Meals
Meals will be provided starting Monday evening when you arrive, until you depart the following Saturday. The only meals that are not included are your free day meals. Plenty of breakfast options and we pack a sack lunch. Dinners are always hot. Let us know if there are any dietary restrictions or allergies.
Work Projects
Work projects in Belleville/East St. Louis are focused on the needs of the Missionaries of Charity and the local church. Projects can include summer camp, building beds, and home repair work.
Travel
You can drive in or fly in. Transportation is not included in cost. You will need to by your tickets and rent enough rental cars for your group for the week.
- MidAmerica St. Louis Airport (BLV)
Free Day Option
Friday can be a half work day or recreation day. Groups who travel a long distance sometimes take their free day as they travel home. Let your site coordinator know what you prefer.
Weather
Pray for good weather. If we get rain, it’s possible that the outdoor projects will be cancelled for the day. Catholic Mission Trips, Inc., will try to arrange both outdoor and indoor projects for each group.
