Mission Trip Application
It is an exciting new academic year and time, once again, to begin to form this year’s mission trip team!
We are excited to announce that this year’s Habitat for Humanity Spring Break Trip will be to Marion County, South Carolina!
Habitat for Humanity
The Lourdes Habitat for Humanity Spring Break Team is celebrating its 26th year! This long standing Lourdes tradition provides students with an opportunity to serve the greater community. Through the work of Habitat, thousands of low-income families have found new hope in the form of affordable housing. Churches, community groups and others have joined together to successfully tackle a significant social problem―decent housing for all.
- Trip Dates: March 4-11, 2023
- Trip Cost: $375 plus a non-refundable $25 deposit (Total $400)
This weeklong experience, together with any fundraising and preparations that lead up to the trip, offers participants an opportunity to work together as a team and to develop personal leadership skills.
