How to Donate financially:

St. Cloud Mission Office
11 - 8th Ave S
St. Cloud, MN 56301-4278

And be sure to attend our annual Diocesan Harvest for Hope celebration!

 

How to get involved in delegations:

Delegations travel to Homa Bay every-other year. If you are interested in being a part of one of these trips, contact Rosanne or Kateri at the Mission Office to put your name on a list of those interested. Information will be sent out to you at least 9 months prior to the travel dates, and you will be asked to fill out a simple "application" before delegation selections occurs.

We also have delegations visiting us in the St. Cloud Diocese on the oposite years as we travel to them. These groups are always in need of helpful energetic people from our Diocese to host delegates, to help with transportation and event facilitation and to interact with them during their time here. If any of this is of interest to you, please contact us at the mission office.

 

How to get involved in Mission Education:

Mission Education is a great way to get your schools, parishes and families involved in our Diocesan partnership and mission in general! To invite a missioner or other speaker, to hear more about mission-curriculum or resources (books, magazines, videos, people, etc.) or to learn more about what Mission is and why we Catholics beleive everyone is called to do mission in some way, contact Kateri Mancini at the Mission Office.

 

Our Partnership would not be possible without the support of the people of our Diocese. We thank you for your continued support!
