When We Need a Hand
New Orleans, LA - After the dreaded day one of ceiling drywall, it was difficult to convince ourselves that today was going to be much better. Yet, much to our surprise, things took a turn for the better when we arrived on site. The pieces of drywall we had fussed...
Food and Friendship
I find it beautiful how in almost every culture, communities come together to share food. There is just something about good food that makes for good company, and I would have to say the great company here is feeding us far too well. Today, at San Miguel Middle...
“…All You Have to Do Is Look”
This SOUL trip, so far, has been so much fun, and it’s only the third day, second with the students! For me, it has been fun to see all of the students and the number of them who remember me because I was here last year. I remember the majority of them, their faces...
Dry Wall and Peace Walks
New Orleans, LA - It is the end of our third day in New Orleans, and what a full day it was! We started off the day with breakfast and morning prayer with the Sisters of Charity who are graciously sharing their home with us. The sense of community in this beautiful...

Power and Understanding
Rochester, NY - If there is one thing I have taken away from not only this trip, but this year, is that it is a season of being behind the scenes. As Nolan and I are at Saint Peter's Kitchen, I am noticing just how important every job is, no matter how big or small it...
The Light, It Burns!
Browning, MT - I’m awakened by the lovely, bright lights of the classroom I’m sleeping in, and, let me tell you, it is not the way you want to be woken up (especially since I already had an alarm set). I was not happy to be woken up like that, as would most people...
The Little Things
Rochester, NY - After morning prayers, our team members paired up and ventured out to their different locations of service. Nolan and I spent our morning at St. Peter’s soup kitchen, cleaning bathrooms, serving food, and washing dishes. After the soup kitchen, we...

Tulsa, OK - Hi everyone!! My name is Jake Homan, and I am currently serving on a Saint Mary’s immersion in Tulsa. On this trip, our group is working in the San Miguel Middle School here in Tulsa. I have the opportunity in helping with the Math and PE classes. This is...
