Live out your missionary heart in serving those in need around the city of New Orleans in safe, profound and impactful way.

COMMUNITY
Spend these days experiencing the power of living out the mission with other missionary hearts, whether you choose the full mission experience or just come to one of the many mission activities. To experience the mission within a community of apostles creates a greater sense of belonging and bonds of friendship that last a lifetime.
what is mission youth?
Mission Youth exists to engage young people, adults and families in spreading Christ’s love through local missions and abroad serving communities in their specific needs. We believe all Catholic Christians are called and capable of being missionaries through their baptism.
Our mission is to the people we serve, and also to the missionaries themselves as we form them to be apostles, accompanying them in the practice of the works of mercy which open the door to share God’s love & evangelize.
