Blessed Are The Streets: A South Bend Homelessness Immersion

Join Campus Ministry for a Faith + Justice immersion experience at the end of winter break, right here in South Bend. Witness and experience a day in the life of a homeless person living on the streets of our city, interwoven with experiences of prayer, Scripture, Catholic social tradition, and quiet reflection. Engage with your understanding of social justice and experience a taste of our neighbors’ lives on the streets.
