2026 Middle School Mission Trip
“Love Begins Here”
Corpus Christi Parish, Waukesha
June 28 – July 1
Along with other parishes across the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, St. Joseph Parish will participate in Love Begins Here, a local mission trip. Love Begins Here helps middle school teens encounter Jesus Christ through a week of local service lived in a joyful, Catholic community. Inspired by the life and witness of St. Teresa of Calcutta, Love Begins Here invites teens to serve those in need in their own homes and communities, thus continuing Christ’s work on earth.
Help out at a food pantry, paint a fence, or plant a garden during the day. Follow that up with ice cream, swimming, prayer, and a ton of fun while making friends with teens from all over the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
