Students from Archbishop Molloy are at Magnificat Farm in Kentucky this week for a Mission Trip. They celebrated Mass one evening this week in the Three Violets Chapel which was built by Marist Young Adults on previous trips.

ABOUT THE FARM:

Located near in Jackson, KY, Magnificat Farm provides groups and individuals throughout our Province with the opportunity for an Appalachian solidarity experience. Lay Marists Ellen and Josh Van Cleef continue to invite fellow Marists to encounter God in the local people and the natural beauty of the local area.

Groups enjoy weeklong service experiences assisting local families to overcome many challenging realities. Participants stay at Magnificat Farm and also learn about the area's rich history and culture. Hiking at the nearby Red River Gorge and trail-building on the farm's property help visitors enjoy Our Common Home. Individuals are also welcome to book a private reflective retreat in the hermitage on property while soaking in the beautiful surroundings.
