PLAN YOUR MISSION

---

Mission Youth & Family is an apostolate of the New Evangelization, proclaiming God's message of love to today's world. 

Where do you see the need for that in your local parish & community?

-Homeless on the street?  

-Loneliness of shut-ins? 

-Young people not attending Mass?

Your local mission is an answer to a concrete need. 

Before stepping out as a Catholic missionary, first let your local parish priest know & ask his blessing. 

• Offer your services, time and talents 
• If the local pastor so desires, missionaries operate under the name of the parish and/or involve/invite local parishioners in the mission and/or serve a concrete need the parish has in the area of evangelization. 
• Form the participants to be missionary disciples/apostles within their home parishes after the mission.  

A mission is never done alone! And it is not just to divide the work. A mission springs from a Catholic community that desires to go out & witness to God's Love. 

Part of the mission team also includes those local organizations that you partner with that make your mission possible.

All those involved with our mission need to be registered volunteers. Please take a few minutes to register all your volunteers here, especially if your mission involves minors. 

The exciting moment has come! Pick your mission day! 

Please register your Mission Day with Mission Youth! This is very important for us... it allows us to track the mission activity, learn better how we can support you, keep you in our prayers & for liability purposes! 

A schedule for your mission day helps you make sure you can meet your objectives in the day.

Our Mission days are based on the charism of Regnum Christi & always include a few key elements. 

Download a sample Mission Day schedule below! 

Our mission days have both spiritual & material elements: we take time to pray, to eat, to serve, to have fun. 

Make sure your mission has what it needs to be a success! Most day missions charge $15 per person to cover the cost of food, gas, liability insurance, etc. 

It's shopping time! 

Depending on what your mission is, your list will look different: PB & J for the homeless? water bottles?, cross, posti's & pens? 

No matter what the mission, don't forget the essential Mission Gear found at our online store. 

Get the word out! Your efforts can move other hearts to get involved!  Use social media, parish bulletins, & word of mouth! 

Sometimes, those we invite can't join us in person on the mission day - don't forget to invite them to pray for the mission, to help you promote it or given, give a donation to make it possible! 

Your missionaries are going to need a way to see what your mission is about, sign up and sign all the necessary paperwork. You can use Mission Youth's page or set up your own. 

Whatever registration system you choose to follow, what is most important are those signed consent forms you can access when you register your mission.
