Summer Youth Mission Experience

The Missionary Society of St. Columban is proud to announce our co-sponsorship of the Summer Youth Mission Experience (SYME).

The Summer Youth Mission Experience (SYME) is intended for both youths and adults who would like to immerse themselves in border issues and immigration issues through the lens of Catholic social teaching without traveling to the U.S.-Mexico border. The program has been co-sponsored by the Diocese of Gaylord, the Missionary Society of St. Columban and the Justice and Peace Awareness Center of Traverse City, Michigan.

The Summer Youth Mission Experience will be offered twice during 2009:
Sunday, July 5 - Thursday, July 9, 2009
Sunday, August 16 - Thursday, August 20, 2009

You may have noticed that immigration issues are an important concern to the Obama administration. Experiencing SYME will put you right at the interface between Catholic Social Teaching and headline news!
