What is ECYD Mission Corps?

ECYD Mission Corps is an international Catholic high school missionary exchange program, where a 15-17 year-old student can volunteer their time during the summer for a period of 4 to 8 weeks.


ECYD Mission Corps is an opportunity to collaborate with Christ and the Church by serving people through active apostolate, and to help other young people find the meaning of their lives in Christ.

Who are ECYD Missionaries?

A missionary is an ECYD member between 15 and 17 years old who offers to spend some specific time of their life collaborating with Christ and with his Church wherever there is a need.

 

This time as a missionary is an opportunity for adolescents to have a profound experience of apostolic formation, which helps them grow in their love for Christ and others with a special spirit of self-giving and generosity.

Alex Kucera

Atlanta

Alex Kucera has lived in Atlanta, GA, for the last 46 years. He is one of 9 children, married to his wife Karmen, and has 3 girls, one grandson, and a granddaughter on the way. Alex joined Regnum Christi in 2007. Out of the gate, he joined the Helping Hands Medical Missions apostolate and is still participating today with the Ghana Friendship Mission.

In 2009, Alex was asked to be the Atlanta RC Renewal Coordinator for the Atlanta Locality to help the RC members with the RC renewal process. Alex became a Group Leader in 2012 for four of the Atlanta Men’s Section Teams and continues today. Running in parallel, in 2013, Alex became a Team Leader and shepherded a large team of good men.

Alex was honored to be the Atlanta Mission Coordinator between 2010 to 2022 (12 years), coordinating 5-8 Holy Week Mission teams across Georgia. He also created and coordinated missions at a parish in Athens, GA, for 9 years. Alex continues to coordinate Holy Week Missions, Advent Missions, and Monthly missions at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Cumming, GA.

From 2016 to 2022, Alex also served as the Men’s Section Assistant in Atlanta. He loved working with the Men’s Section Director, the Legionaries, Consecrated, and Women’s Section leadership teams.

Alex is exceptionally grateful to the Legionaries, Consecrated, and many RC members who he’s journeyed shoulder to shoulder, growing his relationship with Christ and others along the way. He knows that there is only one way, that’s Christ’s Way, with others!
