This summer, seven Ursuline students participated in a life-changing Mother-Daughter Mission Trip to Guatemala with Orphans Outreach. Lyla D. ’28, Erin C. ’28, Cece A. ’28, Audrey L. ‘28, Mia D. ’28, Lexi T. ’27, and Bridget H. ‘28 spent a week serving alongside their mothers, embracing opportunities to live out Ursuline’s spirit of Serviam.

Before the trip, the mothers and daughters raised funds to purchase four bunk beds and bedding for four deserving families. During their week in Guatemala, they served at several Montessori schools and community programs, assisting teachers, playing with children, and sharing kindness, compassion, and joy with everyone they met.

Although they traveled to serve others, the experience left an even greater impact on those who went. The week was a powerful reminder to count one's blessings, lead with grateful hearts, and recognize the joy that comes from serving others. It is a journey these Ursuline students and their mothers will remember forever. It strengthened their faith, deepened their appreciation for others, and brought the meaning of Serviam to life.
