"... Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me." -- Matthew 25:41
Welcome to the new website for Catholic Youth Outreach West Bend, a collaborative program among the West Bend and Newburg area parishes to provide high school students the opportunity to reach out and serve others across the country on week-long mission trips as well as here in our own community through local mission camps. Through these experiences, students will grow in faith, develop new friendships, actively live out the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, and have some fun along the way!

Mission Trips/Camps for Summer 2022
This is the Catholic Youth Outreach West Bend planned schedule of events for the summer of 2022:
June 20-23, 2022: Local Mission Camp #1 (hosted by St. Mary’s)
Each day will have two shifts, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each shift will include a meal and time to reflect on your service experience with both peers and adult leaders. Every day will be a unique experience, as we will assist local residents with projects at their homes. There is no overnight component to these camps; teens will spend the night in their own homes and are invited to come back the next day to serve.
July 24-29, 2022: Out-of-State - Mission Trip to Cincinnati (Tau House – travel in van group – 20 youth spots)
At the Tau House in Cincinnati, a converted 3-story convent, you will experience living simply and serving others in the greater Cincinnati area. Participants have separate floors for men and women and each floor has several bedrooms of 2-6 beds, fans, and a sink. Community bathrooms are located on each sleeping floor. On the main floor it has a full kitchen, where you will prepare your meals and a dining room where everyone eats in community and a large gathering area for presentations and discussions.
Each day will be full of prayer, service, and reflection. You will serve at a different community organization each day, either serving people directly: day care, soup kitchen, thrift store, and others. Or serving community members indirectly: painting, yardwork, home repair, and others.
A typical day would be: 7am breakfast, morning reflection, depart for work sites at 8:45am, return from sites at 3:30, clean up and free time for those not making dinner, dinner, 7 pm evening activity, 11pm lights out. Most trips decide to go to morning Mass as a group at least once during the week at St. Clements Catholic Church, which is right next door to the Tau House.
