During July 2013, the Diocese of Salina is sponsoring a "Prayer and Action Mission Experience" for high school youth who are interested in helping in the most needy among us—the infirm, the elderly, and the poor. The youth, closely supervised by adults, will be working on projects such as painting, minor home repairs, yard work, and other requested jobs. We are fortunate that Hoxie is one of the sites for this year’s experience! As a host community, our biggest responsibility is to find service opportunities for the youth and provide a welcoming presence.
In addition, we are in need of the loan of ladders and yard tools which we mark with your name and pick-up at the beginning of the project and redeliver at the end. We also will need a few trucks and trailers on loan for hauling yard waste, etc. If you have a job you would like performed, you know of anyone who could benefit from assistance through this project, or are able to loan us tools please contact Amanda Tremblay (675-3300) or [email protected] for details.
Thank you in advance for welcoming the young people and pray that the experience will allow them to break free from their everyday pressures and busy schedules to see the face of Jesus in those that they serve.
