Mission Days at St. Mary’s and St. Anthony’s of St. Nicholas Parish
Several years ago, the youth group of St. Mary’s and St. Anthony’s wanted to go on a Mission trip. Most Mission trips take place in rural America or a developing nation. However, our youth group decided that Mission work should start at home since there are people in our own community who could use our help. For the past several summers, a group of adults and students in grades 7-12 have done community service at the homes of residents in Ayer and Shirley, helping seniors and others do work that they could not do themselves. The Mission Days program has been a huge success. Watch a video to learn more.
The group will do yard work, gardening, raking, weeding etc. They can do some outdoor painting and outdoor light carpentry. If you have something you need done and are not sure if they can do it, contact us and we will let you know.
Mission Days will take place on July 9, 10, and 11, 2024.
