Beatitudes Missions
Beatitudes Missions, an apostolate of the Catholic Community of the Beatitudes, offers pilgrimages, retreats, missions, immersions, and internships in the US, Israel, France, Lebanon, and beyond for young people to give “time for God” as a step of spiritual and human formation, growth, and self-gift.
Walking a path together, we ask the Lord to open the Scriptures to us and to help us recognize the fire of holy desires He has placed in our hearts. We watch for the moments when He might reveal Himself to us, transform us by his Word and Sacrament, and lead us towards authentic identity, relationship, and mission.
Our Pillars
"go out"
Discover new lands, new relationships, and formative paths of spirituality in search of deeper identity and trust in God’s Providence.
​
"Go forth from your land, your relatives, and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you"
-Genesis 12:1
Prayer
​
Enter into a rhythm of life centered on Liturgy and personal prayer, guided by Carmelite and Byzantine traditions, as well as an encounter with the Jewish roots of Christianity.
Community
​
Live out community as a small group of young Catholics, and immerse yourself in the daily reality of local religious communities.
Service
​
Share Christ with people along the way and volunteer at Community houses and other apostolates. Prioritize charity, virtue, and evangelical witness, and practice the "Little Way" by finding small moments to serve those around you.
Discernment
​
Learn the practice of looking for the daily movements of the Holy Spirit. Seek knowledge, freedom and peace in discerning a life-long vocation and mission. Make spiritual direction a regular and fruitful space of guidance and freedom.
