Mary Grace Ramsay is raising money for Sheil Mission Trip - Arizona & Mexico Border


Fundraising Amount=$285.00 ; Goal=$1,000.00

As a small faith community missioned from Sheil, we look to build relationships with the people at the border, with those who serve them, and with one another. We intend to look, listen and engage the real situation of those living at the border, as well as those seeking to cross the border. In our daily reflections, we will reflect on the principles of Catholic Social Teaching and share how the experience is challenging and encouraging our growth in faith. We will seek to love those that we meet and love one another in Christ. This is a "learning-service trip" we will learn from the people that we meet and with whom we collaborate. We will be changed by our time at the border, and hopefully will be Catholics with an enlivened faith upon our return.

We ask our sponsors to support us in prayer and if possible, by making a donation.

 


Sheil Catholic Center, Northwestern University, mission trip to the border of Arizona and Mexico, December 14-21, 2019
 

Hello! I am a sophomore studying Global History and Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences with a minor in Spanish. I am incredibly thankful to be a part of the Sheil community and to serve as the fellowship chair for the Catholic Students Association. 

I feel called by God to participate in this unique opportunity to learn through personal encounters about the challenges facing families at the border. I also recognize that we have an obligation as Catholics to serve the most vulnerable, and I believe this directly leads us to helping immigrants, refugees, and asylum-seekers. I hope to be challenged by what I see, find examples of hope, grow closer to my faith, and share what I learn with others. 

I hope you'll consider supporting our mission of service and faith, giving us the opportunity to put "Love Thy Neighbor" into action!

Peace,

    Mary Grace
