July 2021, 12 of our youth from St. Joan of Arc and St. Patrick went to Logan, WV to participate in Youthworks mission trip. We spent 4 days contributing to the community by engaging in work projects at a local church and school. The week exceeded expectations in so many ways- partly because we didn’t know what to expect! But as the week went on, we realized that no amount of sweat could keep us from enjoying the pleasure of working alongside each other and alongside the community members who are so loyal to their small mining town of Logan. To end the week, we pumped our adrenaline by going white water rafting on the New River.
