Missionaries serve three wonderful programs:

• DeSales Catholic Youth Camps – two 5-night camp retreats for High School Catholics primarily from schools and parishes in the Diocese of Toledo.
• Salesian Leadership Camp – one 6-night leadership retreat for student leaders from eight Oblate and Visitation Schools across the country.
• St. Francis de Sales School 9th Grade Orientations – program designed to introduce new students to one another and reduce new student anxiety.

These are volunteer positions. Staff are responsible for their own medical expenses. Missionaries will receive $1,200 in gratitude gifts/college support, provided by several benefactors. There is the possibility of additional support through GoFundMe. Missionary training, room, and board are free. St. Francis de Sales School provides a $400 stipend to those helping with their last two orientations July 23-28.

If you are interested in becoming a missionary this summer, please apply before April 15 (last day to apply). Missionary selection is in progress now.
