El Paso, TX-Juarez MX Mission Immersion Experience

december 10 - 15, 2020

The U.S.-Mexico border has become a lightning rod for discord and polarization in our nation. But there is a human story here that needs to be told. Join Maryknoll as we tour the border and meet the players on the front lines of the immigration issue.

In partnership with the Columban Fathers, and in the spirit of Evangelii Gaudium, we will experience God's joy and explore how we are linked to the our brothers and sisters of Mexico in the bonds of global solidarity, 

PLEASE NOTE:  Couples traveling together must each register separately so that we have complete contact information for each person.

  • Pre-trip orientation
  • Cultural, economic, and spiritual realities from community and pastoral leaders
  • Daily communal prayer, liturgies and theological reflection
