ONE SPACE LEFT!!!
What is a Border Immersion Experience?
The Columban Mission Center is a Catholic organization, but everyone is welcome. There are daily meetings for reflection on the intersection of our spirituality and issues of justice. Full participation in the daily schedule is required.
A valid passport is required for this trip.
What is a "Service Retreat?"
For the past 23 years, the Center for Spirituality has sponsored this opportunity for students to serve and reflect. This service retreat is an opportunity to serve, to live in community, as well as to engage in the pursuit of and expression of your own spirituality. Each day we begin and end our days with time for reflection on the spiritual dimension of service and what it means for us in the expression of our individual sense of faith.
