Jamaica Immersion Trip 2025

Join us for a Jamaica Immersion Experience!

June 5-10, 2025

Join us on a mission-driven adventure to Jamaica, where our journey goes far beyond the beaches and reggae rhythms. You'll engage deeply with the dynamic Catholic community in Montego Bay as we partner in their vital ministries, from caring for the elderly in home health settings to working with youth with developmental disabilities and championing environmental stewardship. This is more than a trip; it’s an opportunity to live out your faith in action, addressing social, political, and economic challenges that connect Jamaica to the U.S. Through service, prayer, and fellowship, we'll build meaningful bonds of global solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Christ, sharing in their mission to uplift and transform their community. 

Trip includes:

  • On-site introduction to the cultural, economic, and political realities of Jamaica
  • Visits to cultural, historical and nature preserves
  • Visit to center for disabled children
  • Opportunities for prayer, liturgy and faith sharing
  • Daily reflections and faith formation activities
  • Ongoing  missionary discipleship support and formation before, during, and after the trip

About Maryknoll Immersion Trips
Maryknoll immersion trips are a ministry designed to foster missionary discipleship. Read more about our trips on our website. Participants are selected based on the potential impact the trip may have on their faith journey. Trip costs are calculated based on the expected number of participants, with each individual asked to contribute at least their share. Contributions beyond the required amount are appreciated, as they support others in participating in future trips. These contributions may be tax-deductible; donors should consult their financial and legal advisors for guidance.

Financial Assistance and Fundraising
For participants unable to afford their share, fundraising with family, friends, and community members is encouraged. If fundraising does not fully cover the cost, financial assistance may be available through Maryknoll by submitting a subsidy request form.

Registration and Preparation
After registering, a trip leader will contact you to ensure the trip is a good fit. Upon acceptance by Maryknoll, participants must complete the Risk Awareness and Travel Agreement, which includes essential details and important information. Participants will also receive information on the required non-refundable deposit and full payment deadlines.

Please note: Trips require a minimum number of participants to proceed. Do not make any travel arrangements until advised by the trip leader.

For any questions or further assistance, feel free to reach out. We look forward to journeying with you!
