There are two groups for every mission: those that are sent, and those that do the sending.
GOD IS GOOD; ALL THE TIME
Missionaries collect donations through community support. We achieve this by inviting others to join our mission. We understand some people might have the financial means to pay out-of-pocket for the entire trip; however, we do not necessarily want this to happen. We would prefer that our community & parish send us on mission. We desire for you, as missionaries, to form a community of support around you: financially, prayerfully, & emotionally.
KEYS TO EFFECTIVE FUNDRAISING
Review the Mission’s overall Fundraising Goals included in our prior years’ video messages to be able to effectively communicate where donations are allocated, plus what the mission does all year round.
God is within us & is at work inside of us, even during the most trying seasons of life. We ask for your ongoing patronage of our efforts by praying for our success & by providing financial support.
YOur FUNDRAISING GOAL
Each Missionary is responsible for raising funds for the annual mission trip (note: the amount is subject to change each year based upon increased travel & lodging rates). This will cover all of your transportation & food costs, as well as contribute to the overall mission fund for the cost of supplies, medical equipment, & travel for priests.
Targeted due dates with confirmed amounts for 2026 are as follows:
Initial $200 due with your Mission Registration by 01/30/2026. Note: registration will remain open until all slots are filled.
Cumulative Total of $800 due on 03/31/2026.
Cumulative Total of $1,500 due on 04/30/2026.
Airfare purchase confirmation due by 04/30/2026 - NEW ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE AIRPORT - Tegucigalpa XPL replaces San Pedro Sula. Note: An early purchase may save you $.
Any remaining donations over the minimum due on 05/31/2026.
Your personal Managed Missions Fundraising portal will help keep you organized with email tasks sent directly to you to remind you of your progress & any required steps to take.

IMPACT
Tell people what it is that we’re doing & what we are trying to change.
This is a mission that anyone can get behind because it does genuine service by helping people desperately in need.
It is charity, it is justice, it is healthcare, it is the preaching the Gospel!
VISUALIZE
Show pictures of the chapels & schools, children, our services & of our health care missionaries in action.
Check out our website images that we have of the communities. This will help visualize the need so it is no longer abstract or remote.
INSPIRE
We can save a dwindling Catholic community & improve their health & well-being. This is real. This is measurable.
In 2014 at our kickoff Mass, only one person received Communion. At the end of the week, when our priests had heard their confessions, many more were able to receive our Lord.
testimony
Tell your personal story of what draws you into mission. No one can deny or challenge your story.
A testimony of why you chose this mission draws other people into your mission. Share an authentic appeal from your heart to their hearts.
