About the Jamaica Service Immersion:

Participants will serve at Sophie's Place in Kingston. The site serves as the foundation of Mustard Seed Communities, boasting numerous homes and communities integral to the mission experience. Nestled in the mountain vistas of Gordon Town, Sophie's Place is an apostolate providing a home for more than 20 children with disabilities.
