2020 Alternative Break Trip

Alternative Spring Break Immersion Trips are a way for student and non-student parishioners to experience the joy of the Gospel by engaging in meaningful relationships with the people we serve while learning about particular challenges facing their communities. Principles of Catholic Social Teaching, especially for the respect of the life and dignity of the human person, are central themes to these experiences.

Spring Break • March 21-26, 2020

This Spring Break, students and staff from the University Parish Newman Center will spend time at ARISE – A Resource Serving in Equality. Since 1987, ARISE has been working to improve the lives of the residents of the Rio Grande Valley through empowering women to be leaders in their communities. Download a copy of our reflections and watch our video below so that we can introduce you to some of the people we met who not only helped us understand issues of poverty, immigration, and workers’ rights but who also welcomed us as family.
