Our
Impact



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.



Impact Statements



"Our journey began in 2015 with my son and I attending for the first time together. We've attended every year since and now my daughter joins us. To see teenagers, not just my own, giving wholeheartedly to strangers, brings tears to my eyes. I am proud to be a part of LMMYM." ​

"Going to Tijuana was one of the single handedly most eye opening and humbling experiences I have ever had. The impact we are making in these families' lives is indescribable and almost too amazing to put into words. The work is hard, the trip is emotional, but the reaction and sincere gratefulness we get from the families when they get their homes is priceless. We are actively bringing God's work and message to life, and that is something that should never be passed up." ​

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is something about this experience that always has me coming back year after year. There are no words to describe how amazing Ojala Ministries has been for me and I recommend it to anyone and everyone."

"This trip has been one of the most influential opportunities in my life. I would never dream of missing it."

"Going to Tijuana for Spring Break was a life changing experience that has completely changed me as a person. Not only has this trip made me grateful for everything I have but it also has made me take into perspective that others aren't as fortunate as I am. I hope everyone is able to experience this life-changing trip by helping others in need."

Selena B.



" Since 2016, Ojala Ministries is the greatest trip I have been apart of. It has changed my life tremendously and I will continue to be a part of it for the rest of my life. Through this trip, I've made life long friends in the Bay Area as well in Mexico. From the preparation​ of learning how to build walls in the St. Agnes church parking lot, to the leadership skills instilled into everyone, Ojala Ministries empowers everybody to help people, in La Morita and beyond.
