Presence
The vision of Global Outreach has remained constant – to invite carefully chosen young Catholics from the Church in Central/Eastern and Northern Europe to spend their junior year of high school in Catholic schools in the Midwest (Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Minnesota) so that they might learn how we American Catholics live our faith in a tradition of freedom and, at the same time, share with our youth, our schools and our parishes their strong faith commitment, helping to strengthen the spirituality of American Catholics, especially young Catholics. The vision of the program is summed up in the motto given to Catholic youth by our recent popes: “Come, help build a civilization of love.” Beginning in the fall of 1991 students from the then Czechoslovakia as well as Hungary began attending SMC as well as Roncalli High School in Manitowoc. Within a few years, all Global Outreach students were coming from Central/Eastern and Northern Europe.
