On June 17-24th, 2011 Youth & chaperones from our Area Faith Communities headed to Milwaukee WI for a Catholic Heart Workcamp Mission Trip.
The week was filled with cleaning, painting, ripping apart and rebuilding homes and facilities to help the poor of the inner city of Milwaukee.

Our youth were exposed to different life-styles and saw that the work they did for the week was rewarding and satisfying.  They sacrificed and slept on

hard floors with no air conditioning.  You would be proud, as they never complained and truly loved the experience.  We came home a richer group than when we lift.
Not because of money, but, because of giving to others before ourselves.  That is truly the meaning of Catholic. Being universal and serving the less fortunate.
WE are looking forward to our trip to Champaign IL this coming July of 2012.  Thanks for all your support in the past and in the future


 









Catholic Heart Workcamp, you are great!


We wish to thank our Lady of the Prairie,  Area Faith Community for supporting us on our Mission Trip.Through your help we met Jesus in the homes and places we served.  The poor of Milwaukee were the face of Jesus and we were given the opportunity to touch their hearts and they touched ours. 
I wish everyone could experience Jesus in this way.
