This year’s fall mission for the Vincentian Marian youth took place in St. Louis city.
On October 30th through November 1st there were twenty-seven participants. The majority were from Ste. Genevieve and Perry Counties and from six different parishes.

The theme this year was “Dead Zone-A Life Without God-Don’t Get Caught In It”.
