Spring Break Mission Trip
During MTU's spring break a group of students travel to Father Carr's Place 2B in Oshkosh, WI for a week of service. This center is a housing shelter, food bank, free clinic, chapel, and enrichment center for those in need. We are able to help them finish long term projects, matinence, and serving the poor. Join us this year to be filled with the joy of serving others as well as being in a fun community for a week trip. This years spring break is Saturday, March 04 to Sunday, March 12, 2023. There is not currently a leader of this group so please contact Fr Ben (benjhasse@yahoo.com) for more information or to sign-up.
Pastoral Council
The pastoral council is an elected group who advises the priest about parish matters. They reflect on issues that arise, bring new information to light, and plan/facilitate many events. Students serve for 1 or 2 years and elections happen in the spring. If you have event ideas, see a ministry in need of support, or want to run for next years council contact one of the student members.
