2026 Mission Trip · Buckingham County, Virginia
Teams of adults, young adults, and youth travel to Buckingham County to repair homes for families in need — growing in faith while serving those less fortunate.
During the week, we stay at local churches and shower at a nearby camp. Work is performed Monday through Saturday. On Sunday we attend Mass, rest, and enjoy an evening together. Our final day closes with a picnic, swimming, and canoeing at a local state park before returning home.
For youth: Daily prayer and retreat activities help young people grow in faith and fellowship while learning practical skills alongside adults. Rising 6th graders and older are welcome. There are no personal electronic devices permitted for anyone under 18 — this is a week of genuine community.
Drivers needed: Adults 21 and older who can provide a vehicle for the week are greatly appreciated. Gas costs can be reimbursed.
Register early — slots are limited and registration closes when capacity is reached. Fees cover food, safety equipment, fuel, t-shirt, backpack, water bottle, retreat materials, and building supplies.
Registration is considered complete only when all forms, documentation, and payment have been submitted to the Coordinator or the St. Jerome Church office.
A photocopy of your medical insurance card is required with your registration documents. Individual registration packets must be completed for each attendee — families are not on the same work teams.
A current background check (within the past 5 years) and completed VIRTUS training must be on file with the Diocese. Please check the diocesan website for upcoming VIRTUS training dates and locations.
Transportation is arranged by the Missions team for the July 8th departure and the July 15th return after the picnic. All other arrivals and departures are the individual's responsibility.
We stay at local churches during the week. If you prefer a hotel, the closest option is Star Motel, Dillwyn — (434) 983-2365. Hotel reservations and costs are your own responsibility.
Space is limited. Register your household today to secure your spot.
