Missionary Internships
Live it and transmit it.
Commit to 3 months or more at the service of Beatitudes Missions.
What is an internship with Beatitudes Missions?
Bring your talents and heart into collaboration with the Church of Denver, France, Israel, even Lebanon. Prospective interns often begin with an extended time of pilgrimage, mission, or immersion to plunge into the experience we want to transmit: worship, community, personal prayer, discernment principles, and adventure in the Holy Spirit.
Interns also walk the path towards a total “self-gift” (Gaudium et Spes 24) as they take part in our mission team, assist with activities, work on life skills and balance, and persevere in times of service.
