Arizona Mission Trip

Join us for a mission trip to Tucson, Arizona and the Tohono O’odham Nation over winter break (Dec. 13-17, 2026). This Nation is made up of various districts that are united as one nation, and all of them share the name Tohono O’odham, which means “Desert People.” This Nation has roots stretching from Arizona through the Sonoran desert in Mexico.  Through relationships developed with the Tohono O'odham Nation and collaborative service with Catholic organizations reaching out to migrants in Mexico and those seeking asylum in Tucson, this mission trip will widen your understanding of the Church, bring you face-to-face with the realities of the border, and offer an experience of what it means to "welcome the stranger." The trip costs $1,000 for Catholic Scholars and $800 for non-Catholic Scholars. This covers airfare, transportation, lodging, and food. Scholarships are available for those who qualify. Campus ministers accompany the student group.  If you have any questions or are interested in upcoming trips, contact Campus Minister, Tim Higgins, via email at tim-higgins@northwestern.edu or call 847.328.4648. Applications are due by Thursday, November 5, 2026. 

Cost: The trip is open to all undergraduate and graduate students. It costs $1,000 for Catholic Scholars and $800 for non-Catholic Scholars. Scholarships available.
