Service
Spring
Break and Summer Break Service Trips
Every spring break, the Office of Mission and Ministry sponsors annual international service trips to places such as Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Belize. The days are filled with hard labor (building homes, latrines, etc.), while the evenings are saturated with prayer, reflection, and laughter. Previous building experience and Spanish fluency are not necessary – just an open heart and a willing spirit. To learn more about the 2008 Spring Break Service Trips check out one student's diary and the photo gallery. Look for application information in the Rockhurst Daily News during September of each year, or contact Fr. Gregg Grovenburg SJ at 816-501-4829 for more information.
Every even year (2006, 2008…) campus ministry sponsors a domestic service trip to Hancock, Michigan to serve with Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly (Little Brothers), a non-profit agency. Little Brothers provides many services for the rural, aging poor, including free firewood, which reduces the burdensome heating bills of northern Michigan winters. Little Brothers supplies the saws, splitters, gasoline and wood through relationships with local logging companies…Rockhurst University students supply the muscle. A can-do attitude, rather than woodcutting experience, is all that is required. Contact Fr. Gregg Grovenburg SJ at 816-501-4829 for more information.
