Launched in 1997 and named after alumnus and martyr Fr. Thomas E. Gafney, S.J. ’50, the mission trip program offers students an opportunity to directly encounter the poor and marginalized, just as Jesus did. Through domestic and international destinations participants practice prayer, service, solidarity, reflection, learning and encountering God in all things, people and places.
For 2025, St. Ignatius High School is offering eight mission experiences. Two trips take place during Spring Break and six mission experiences are over the summer. Interested students must complete the mission trip application and complete an interview to be considered for a mission trip.
Financial aid may be awarded on the basis of the applicant’s financial need. Any student with a heart filled with faith and a desire to serve should apply, regardless of financial situation. Please see Mr. Bowers or Mr. Pacetti with questions.
