Since 1986, more than 1800 participants from St. Agnes and the surrounding parishes have traveled to Mexico to build homes. We have built over 99 homes, a church, a community center, and a faith formation building. Many of the people who are part of Ojala Ministries testify that the experience has changed them in profound ways, in their faith, in choosing what they want to do in their lives, in their understanding of poverty and the relationship between the U.S. and Mexico, and in their continued participation in Christian service and social justice.
