Program Description
The goal is that students experience and learn how to live a Catholic way of life that permeates studies, future careers and vocations.
How: We recognize the need for community so we modified our usual Emmanuel School of Mission to safely allow young adults to live together, receive the sacraments and continue working on their college classes.
What: ESM COVID Project welcomes up to 20 full- or part-time students to live in NYC during the spring semester 2021 from January 4th to August 1st. We will have a common daily schedule with Mass, adoration and community meals. Throughout the year, there will be optional times of volunteer service, retreats, pilgrimages and trips offered as part of the program.
