Young adults from different diocese across the United States join Vicente Del Real to share their experiences participating in a week-long mission trip through Catholic Extension.

Catholic Extension works in solidarity with people in America’s poorest regions to build up vibrant and transformative Catholic faith communities.

As Catholics we understand the importance of community and the power behind encounter. Thanks to Catholic Extension, Jimena, Alex, Jazmin, and Mirna were able to spend a week together in El Paso, Texas meeting with and working with Mexican immigrant families, receiving theological formation, and where several of them discovered what it is that God is calling them to dedicate their lives to. It is a powerful interview full of insight, passion, and hope for the next generation of young Latino leaders.
