Come and join University Ministry in Montgomery, Ala. during spring break!
When: March 1-8 (spring break)
What: Service Immersion Trips are an opportunity to encounter a community outside of your own, offer your gifts and friendship in service and solidarity, and immerse yourself in education on the critical issues of our day — in this case, the Civil Rights movement! This trip is designed to learn from the rich history of the area, visiting renowned museums and historical sites. It also includes engaging in current-day civil rights issues around racism, voting access and even joining a historical rally crossing the Selma bridge.
Where: Montgomery, Ala. We are hosted by an organization called Resurrection Catholic Missions of the South, Inc. Their center is located in a building that was previously a convent, consisting of private bedrooms with two beds each, shared split bathrooms, a kitchen and a reflection room where we have our nightly reflections.
Who: For current UDM students only. All faiths or non-faiths are invited to join. There are 8 student spots available on this trip.
Transportation: Provided! We will meet at UDM and drive down together in a van, leaving early Saturday, March 1 and returning Saturday, March 8.
Registration Cost: $400 (covers 3 meals/day, lodging, transportation, museum tickets and all programming). The total cost per person is higher, but Ministry pays the remainder. We do not want this expense to be an obstacle to your participation–scholarships are available! Reach out to Sammy at seckric@udmercy.edu to request a scholarship application.
Application Deadline: Jan. 15 with an initial deposit of $100. The remaining cost is due a week before the start of the trip. An application can be requested below.
