2012 High School Student Mission Trip to St Augustine, FL - Orthodox Christian Mission Center!

The High School Student Mission Trip is a ministry of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA. We hope to bring aid and comfort to those in need through out our country. It is easy to turn a blindeye to those reaching out a hand for help in our local communities. By our actions, we hope to show the face of Christ to these people in need and all we come in contact with and by doing so reaffirm the Holy Orthodox Faith in an Orthodox Service Community. We pray that by offering daily prayer services, as well as our love and works, that we will bring not only ourselves but all involved closer to Christ our God.

This is a unique opportunity for the youth of our church. To learn more about OCMC and St. Photios Shrine.

While in St. Augustine the team will:
* Work at OCMC
* Experience training given by OCMC to long and short term missionaries
* Serve the poor and homeless of St. Augustine
* Volunteer in renovations at St. Photios Shrine

Grants available from the Jr Ukrainian Orthodox League to aid in defraying the cost of the trip. Download the grant form (which may be filled out mostly electronically) and email or mail to the Office of Youth Ministry.
