Crusaders Help Build Homes on Immersion Service Trip to Peru
ORADELL, NJ, January 31, 2025– During Catholic Schools Week, a contingent of Bergen Catholic Crusaders traveled to Jicamarca in Lima, Peru to participate in an immersion service trip to help rebuild homes for the needy in an impoverished area of the country located in the Andes Mountains.
In addition to their service work, BC students and faculty got the chance to experience various facets of Peruvian culture and history, all while living the Essential Elements of an Edmund Rice Christian Brothers Education. This commitment to serving others is at the heart of Catholic Education and shows how Catholic Schools help change the world.
