Operation ALive!
What: High School Mission Trip to Mississippi – Operation Alive! is an
ECYD mission experience to discover the joy and presence of Christ who is
alive! Jesus looks at each young person with love and invites them to be his
friend and apostle. We will explore what the Church and Holy Father are
saying to young people today. What does it mean to live the years of our
youth in the transforming light of the Gospel? Based on the “Christus Vivit,”
we will explore the themes Pope Francis and the recent synod discussed.
