The Sisters of St. Francis of Dubuque are seeking volunteers for a service/immersion trip to Honduras with the Sister Water Project February 13-20, 2027.

The Sister Water Project Service/Immersion Team will help make potable water accessible to people in a village in Honduras. Team members will also gain valuable experience of the culture of the Honduran people.

Team members must be 21 years old, capable of physical work at high altitudes; flexible in dealing with schedules; and be willing to participate fully in the work, prayer, and team building of the daily schedule. Team members will need to have a passport that will still be valid at least six months after the end of the trip. Travel insurance and the appropriate vaccines are recommended.

The cost is expected to be $1,500—which may vary depending on the number of participants.  The service trip fee includes round trip travel (ground and air from Dubuque to Honduras), food, lodging, and travel within Honduras.

For more information and/or to request an application, email si****************@****bq.org.  Applications are due by Friday, September 18, 2026.
