WEST VIRGINIA
For two years now, over the Easter break, a group of students have travelled to Nazareth Farm in West Virginia, a non-profit Catholic organization that lives by the four cornerstones of Prayer, Simplicity, Community and Service. The main objective is for volunteers to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and live in community with other high school volunteers from around the country.
While there, the students participated in service work in the surrounding counties to help repair the homes of those living in substandard conditions. They also took part in leading prayer services and learned about ways that they may live more simply to help our environment.
