Participating in Mission Experiences
In keeping with Christ's commandments to love God and neighbor, the Religious Life and the Chaplain's office are committed to promote bridge-building opportunities through missions hoping to find a common ground in loving one another. Two longer missions are offered each academic year along with monthly short-term opportunities.
Join us to help those in need! Missions are open to all friends and members of the Centenary community.
