Students will hear from experts and theologians about our responsibility to respond to the needs of our time. Students will have the opportunity to advocate for justice by going to the Capitol and talking with elected congresspersons. The goal is for students to understand that faith and justice are intricately linked and to experience a personal conversion toward living a life of advocacy for and solidarity with the poor and marginalized in our world.

However, we reserve the right to adopt COVID-related policies at any time based on guidance from the Center for Disease Control or other government agencies.
COVID TESTING: A negative test result is required within 24 hours of departure in order for a student to be cleared for attendance on the immersion. Students will submit a negative COVID test result 24 hours before departure. Students who fail to meet this deadline and do not submit a COVID test will not be able to attend the immersion.
Please make sure your students’ records are up-to-date in SchoolAdmin. If you would like to upload vaccination documentation for your student, please log in to your family’s SchoolAdmin portal. If you have not uploaded any vaccination documentation to the school, we will assume that your student is not vaccinated and thus unable to participate in this immersion.
