Spring Break Service Project
Monterrey, Mexico
Dear Service Project Participants and Parents,
The main part of our project will be running a day camp at the parish of Jesus Sumo Sacerdote. We will be teaching the children English and Catechism, as well as playing sports and games with them. We will also be visiting the elderly and the poor and bringing them clothes and other provisions.
Our base of operations will be at El Molino, a conference center of Opus Dei. We will be spending our free time there playing sports, hiking, and having a good time together!
Please reply to danbmurphy@gmail.com to let me know that you have received this information and whether or not you will still be coming to the trip. Please read on for all the important details.
I'm looking forward to a great project and Spring Break!
Sincerely,
Dan Murphy
Spring Break Service Project 2018
