Commissioning of new missionaries - Class 2024 - Sunday, December 10th 

Join us for the Commissioning Ceremony of our new missionaries at St. John the Evangelist Church on Sunday, December 10th at 10:00 am (6028 S. Victoria Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90043).  Tom Guyer will be commissioned for Ghana, Nancy Magloire for Uganda, and Maria Luisa Garcia for Peru. They will depart for their assignments in January 2024 to serve three year-terms in mission. Missionaries do not go, they are sent! Help us send the new LMH class!

To facilitate the discernment process of those interested in overseas mission, Lay Mission-Helpers offers Discernment Weekends throughout the year. After completing a Preliminary Form, eligible applicants will be invited to complete a Formal Application.  Once completed, applicants are invited to attend a Discernment Weekend. Participants will meet with the LMH Team and learn more about the challenges and joys of mission life. We will discuss current and potential sites where Lay Mission-Helpers are assigned and the type of work that they do. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss their questions, concerns, and expectations with the LMH team. There will be time for group discussions as well as individual meetings with members of the LMH team. The program begins on Friday and ends on Sunday afternoon.
