When Father Michael Moriarty, LC, brought a group of young missionaries to rural Ecuador at the beginning of March, they arrived in the middle of a monsoon. When they left just ten days later, the world was in the midst of a pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the first week of March, Father Michael accompanied several Philadelphia area students on a mission organized by FOCUS<\/a>, a Catholic collegiate outreach organization, into rural Ecuador. Upon their arrival, the region received torrential rain and the church where the group would be staying, Santa Mar\u00eda de Laurel, was under one to two feet of standing water. \u201cThe students just stepped up and adapted to the situation,\u201d says Father Michael, \u201cit was kind of roughing it the first couple of nights.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the group, consisting of about fifteen missionaries, was warmly welcomed, by both Father Jos\u00e9, the priest at Santa Mar\u00eda de Laurel, as well as the members of the community that the group had come to serve. In the Ecuadorian countryside, along the banks of the Daule River, the missionaries helped to build a wall and gate for the rural school, to provide a sense of authority to the school structure itself, and accountability to the students who come and go. \u201cThe students that go to that school are in a cycle of poverty that\u2019s somewhat severe unless they get a good education,\u201d says Father Michael, \u201cand something as simple as a wall can change the dynamic of education for a generation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Each day, while one half of the missionary group worked with members of the local community to build the school wall, the other half would visit the homes in the surrounding rural area to talk and pray with the local families, who received the missionaries with warmth and curiosity. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of Father Michael\u2019s main roles during the mission, besides acting as translator and hands-on laborer, was to provide daily adoration, confession, and mass; one day, he celebrated mass at the rustic chapel in the countryside, giving four children from the surrounding rural community their First Communion. He also provided spiritual mentoring for the students, offering spiritual direction for three to four hours a day, usually while walking the dirt roads that led from the school to the rural homes they were visiting. Besides celebrating the sacraments daily, Father Michael considers the offering of spiritual direction his most important role as mission chaplain: \u201cAt that age, a lot of students are discerning their vocation, so it\u2019s a really key moment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On the last day of the mission, the group hosted a dance party at the rural school, complete with music, loudspeakers, and ice cream, as a way to bring the community together, but also, as a way to say good-bye. \u201cThey just totally welcomed us, they basically just adopted us, you become best friends for a week,\u201d says Father Michael of the mission group\u2019s relationship with the local community, \u201cand it\u2019s pretty tough for a lot of the younger kids from the area to say good-bye to these missionaries that they look up to and admire, and know they\u2019ll probably never see again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

However, as the ten-day mission was coming to a close, there were indications that concern about the COVID-19 pandemic had reached Ecuador. Father Michael noticed subtle signs that some of the townspeople were becoming wary of the missionaries, who they feared might have brought the virus with them, to a region of the country where there may not be the required access to health care required should an outbreak occur. Upon their departure, the airport in Ecuador was quieter than it had been when the mission group had arrived just a little over a week ago, but it wasn\u2019t until they landed in JFK Airport that the scale of the crisis became apparent. The usually crowded airport was eerily empty. Once in New York, the group scrapped their original plans to stay overnight in a hotel and celebrate mass in the morning as a way of concluding their mission, and immediately headed back to their homes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe all knew that getting back would be really different,\u201d says Father Michael. Since most of the students did not have cell phone service while in Ecuador, near the end of the trip, the mission organizers began to inform them about what was happening around the world, and particularly, back home. \u201cAll the universities had cancelled classes for the rest of the year,\u201d says Father Michael. \u201cWe started to tell everybody \u2018hey, this is what were going back to.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For the most part, the students took the news in stride. \u201cA couple of them were pretty nervous about it, and upset that their semester had stopped,\u201d says Father Michael, when the students realized that they wouldn\u2019t be graduating on campus with their classmates. But other than that, the students recognized that returning home to a world that looked different than the one that they had left was just like embarking on another mission. \u201cIt was more like, we\u2019re missionaries,\u201d Father Michaels says of the students\u2019 adaptive and apostolic attitude which they arrived with, and further cultivated, in Ecuador, \u201cand this is part of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, Father Michael hopes that it\u2019s this apostolic attitude that stays with the students long after they\u2019ve returned home from their mission abroad, which he says is meant to be merely \u201ca kick-start.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s like an interactive, fun adventure, that by the time you\u2019re half way through it\u2026 you realize you\u2019re meant for so much more,\u201d says Father Michael. \u201cI think going on a trip like this awakens the awareness that my faith is needed by others, and my gifts and talents can be used at the service of the Church.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The biggest task Father Michael faces once he returns from a mission is finding ways to harness the excitement and adventure of serving Christ overseas, and bringing it back home. \u201cSome of that joy and enthusiasm, and the spirit of initiative \u2013 it fizzles out,\u201d says Father Michael, who seeks to build a culture and organizational structure that captures all the energy and experience of encountering Christ in the mission, and then channels it into team life and local apostolate. \u201cThis mission experience is meant to circle back to a longer term follow-up of at-home mission,\u201d says Father Michael, \u201cthe Encounter with Christ, Bible study groups, team life, spiritual direction, retreats on a regular basis, and missions locally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bringing that experience of mission down to a local level has become increasingly important in Philadelphia, particularly during the COVID-19 crisis. \u201cThe last four weekends, we\u2019ve gone on local Mission Youth missions<\/a> here in Philly, adapting them to the needs of the homeless, and what we can do in a safe way,\u201d says Father Michael. During Holy Week, he sent out an e-mail requesting packed lunches, hoping to collect a couple hundred lunch bags to hand out on Divine Mercy Sunday. \u201cWhen I came out that afternoon, there were seven feet of boxes with sandwiches, probably two or three thousand lunch bags, with Divine Mercy prayers inside each one.\u201d Each Saturday since, Regnum Christi Philly has been delivering two or three truckloads of packages containing lunches, toiletries, and socks to the local people in need.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is precisely the spiritual souvenir that Father Michael hopes the missionaries bring back from their mission trip abroad; upon arriving home, \u201cwe have to then bloom where we\u2019re planted.\u201d \u201cYou don\u2019t have to go far away from home to be a missionary,\u201d says Father Michael. \u201cIn fact, that might be even long-term hypocritical, to love somebody far away from you, and not to love the one at your side, in your family, at work, at school.\u201d For Father Michael, the mission he lives at home, in his daily life, is the one that matters most. \u201cI would be remiss in living my Catholic faith if I didn\u2019t do that, if I wasn\u2019t a witness at the grocery store.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Going on a mission abroad is a life-changing apostolic adventure that Father Michael believes every young person should experience. \u201cI love to take students on these missions,\u201d says Father Michael, \u201cbecause once that awareness is made, then we can realize that there are people in Philly who need these missions here.\u201d He\u2019s hoping to build a mission culture that forms apostles who don\u2019t abandon the mission when they return from abroad, but instead, bring the mission back with them, and continue it at home.<\/span><\/p>\n
