Where: For day missions we gather at one of two parishes:
Who: Open to all ages, but youth under 12 must be accompanied by a parent. If you’re a parent coming with young children, please register as a Family by clicking “Adults and Family Registration”
When: On the day of each mission we meet at 10am and finish the day at 8pm. The basic schedule includes the following:
Cost: $15 to cover food and supplies. We strongly encourage each missionary to purchase a mission t-shirt ($17) or hoodie ($45) so we can be identified as missionaries by others.
After completing a day-mission or a longer mission (weekend or week-long mission) you can request a letter or a form recognizing your volunteer service hours required by your school.
Hamilton Mission Youth gives up to 8 hours a day, and not more, even though you may have been present for more than 8 hours. This is because much of the schedule is not directly volunteer work. For this reason, a day mission will obtain 8 hours, and a 5-day mission will get 40 hours.
If your school requires a specific form, please send that form by email with your request.
In your email please include the date or dates of the mission you participated in.
Usually service hours are not needed urgently, so we process these requests on a month-by-month basis, and ask for your patience. If you need it urgently, please state so in your email.
