Young Adult Mission Trip

Spiritual Direction

larger font

Perhaps the most important aspect of any mission trip is spiritual direction. On this mission trip, we will have a team of two spiritual directors: Fr. Marcos Ayala-Hernandez and Mr. Brent Heiser.

The role of the spiritual directors is to raise spiritual awareness and development of each individual, no matter where they are in their lives.

Brent will head the spiritual direction prior to and during our trip. Brent is an evangelist who has been active in the Diocese for years. He was our spiritual director for the Young Adult Mission Trip for 2008.

Fr. Marcos will join us when we land in Honduras. Fr. Marcos lived and studied English in the Diocese of Raleigh for several years before returning to his native Honduras in 2005. Fr. Marcos was the spiritual director for both the 2005 and 2006 Diocese of Raleigh Young Adult Mission Trips to the Dominican Republic. In the picture below, he is seen with several of the youth of one of the many parishes he serves in Honduras.
