San Damiano Immersion Experience 

Week-long service immersion experiences, both domestic and international, are offered over fall break, spring break and during the summer. 

This year, we are partnering with Appalachian Service Project and traveling to Southwest Virginia – Lee2-Nov-02-2023-05-58-42-4184-PM County!

Commencing in October and leading up to the scheduled trip, each participant undergoes a comprehensive formation experience. This journey is marked by engagement with their fellow group members, where they delve into cultural education, engage in moments of reflection, foster team unity, and collectively work towards fundraising goals. While this may be a trip that is over Spring Break, this is not a Spring Break vacation trip! We are donating our time to serve a community with plenty of need.

ASP projects cover a wide range of construction skill sets, so we can find something for your experience! Here is the type of work we may do:

  • Roofing – Replacing and repairing roofs can lead to significant improvements, mitigating damage caused by leaks.
  • Drywall – Drywall projects can be ceiling repair, wall repair, or part of a room addition.
  • Siding – Repairing existing siding or installing new siding weatherizes a home from the elements, making it more efficient and reducing utility costs for homeowners.
  • Floors and Foundations – Ensuring floors are sturdy makes homes safer, giving families the ability to make better use of their space.
  • Porches and Ramps – Building and restoring porches and ramps make homes accessible for residents for both daily and emergency use.
