NICARAGUA MISSIONS
This July, Mission Youth Detroit will head to Chinandega, Nicaragua to take on a new adventure. Located just 20km from the Pacific Ocean, Chinandega is the country's fifth largest city in a primarily agricultural region. Our 8-day mission provides food and aid and the opportunity to work directly with some of the most vulnerable people of Chinandega. We will work to meet both the physical and spiritual needs of those at the local boys & girls orphanages, at a home for the physically handicapped, and through home visits to bring food and the Blessed Sacrament to individuals and families. If you feel called to touch others’ lives in a way that makes a deep personal difference in both your heart and theirs, this is a life changing experience you don’t want to miss.
