Why Love Begins Here? In her 1979 Nobel Prize acceptance speech, St. Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa) said, "And so here I am talking with you – I want you to find the poor here, right in your own home first. And begin love there. Be that good news to your own people. And find out about your next-door neighbor – do you know who they are?"
Love Begins Here focuses on the needs right here in our own Archdiocese. While it is good to travel across the country and world to serve those in need, God has willed for us to be in this time and this place for a reason - to be His hands and feet to those directly around us. LBH seeks to facilitate an encounter between our youth and those in need in our own homes, parishes, and neighborhoods.
Funding We ask for a $125 nonrefundable deposit. The actual cost of the trip is $300/per student (chaperones serve at no cost). Due to generous donations from parishioners, and a fundraiser if needed, our goal is that your total payment may only be the $125 deposit. If making the deposit will be a challenge for your family, please reach out to Meaghan Turner ([email protected]).
