Housing
Housing in Baton Rouge will be at the Missionaries of Charity guest house or St. Agnes Parish. Participants should plan on bringing sheets, pillow, and a towel. Men, women, boys and girls will have separate sleeping areas. Check with your site coordinator for more 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, while you are out touring the city. Plenty of breakfasts options and we pack a sack lunch. Dinners are always hot.
Work Projects
The housing for the Missionaries of Charity was damaged in Hurricane Ida in 2021. Our work projects in Baton Rouge will assist the Missionaries of Charity in finishing the home repairs, as well as serving alongside them in their soup kitchen and women’s shelter.
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.
The airport closest to our home base.

Free Day
Friday can be a half work day or free recreation day. Groups who travel a long distance sometimes take their free day as they travel home. Let your site coordinator know if you prefer – Friday as a half work day, whole work day, or free day. Take a swamp tour, cool off at a water park, or explore Baton Rouge or New Orleans (National Shrine of St. Francis Xavier Seelos, French Quarter, St. Louis Cathedral, Café Au Lait & Beignets).
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.
