Missionaries serve three wonderful programs:

• DeSales Catholic Youth Camps – three 5-night camp retreats for Catholic teens primarily from schools and parishes in the Diocese of Toledo.
• Salesian Leadership Camp – one 6-night leadership retreat for student leaders from eight Oblate and Visitation Schools across the country.
• St. Francis de Sales School 7th/8th/9th Grade Orientations – program designed to introduce new students to one another and reduce new student anxiety.

These are volunteer positions. Staff are responsible for their own medical expenses. Missionaries will receive $1,700 in gratitude gifts/college support, provided by several benefactors. There is the possibility of additional support through GoFundMe. Missionary training, room, and board are free.

Missionary selection is in progress now. The application window closes January 31. We will be in touch with you before February 14, 2025
