Years of Service
Prayer
Any and all service that we do at PandA flows from the font of prayer. Our teens are immersed in praise and worship, Adoration, the Mass, Rosary, Liturgy of the Hours, small group prayer, as well as silent reflection.
Service
PandA sessions last five days, with students arriving on Sunday evening and staying until Friday morning. Throughout the week the students will paint, clean, do yard work, and perform other meaningful tasks for the poor, disabled, and elderly.
Our Teams
Each week of PandA is facilitated by a mission team which consists of seminarians and other dynamic young adults. This team and the parish adult leaders will be with the students at the worksites, working side-by-side with them.
