For 10 days in Costa Rica, a group of students from the Diocese of Dallas traded the relaxing routines of summer break for work gloves, prayer, and a mission to serve.
Diocese of Dallas high schoolers shared a teary goodbye with members of the local community in Pejibaye as they parted ways at the end of the 2025 Diocesan Youth Mission Trip to the Diocese of San Isidro de El General in Costa Rica, June 4-11. Though their time together was brief, the two communities formed a heart-deep bond, forged through hard work and shared faith, missionaries said.
