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.
