Urban Plunge Immersion/House of Charity

The Urban Plunge experience offers students and staff the opportunity to encounter a social service agency from the inside out. House of Charity in Minneapolis offers the homeless and working poor a roof over their head and a warm, safe setting in which to gather for a meal. Through our work with House of Charity, Cretin-Derham Hall students and staff have the opportunity to grow in a greater understanding and appreciation for the unique and varied life stories of the poor, homeless and marginalized, as well as those whose who seek to be of ministry to them. Up to six students (all grades) and two adults participate in the Urban Plunges.House of Charity in Minneapolis (located near HCMC) is the location of our Plunge.The Plunge begins at 8:30 a.m. and concludes by 2:30 p.m. Prayer, reflection and conversation around the issues of poverty, homelessness, the working poor, and the work of social service agencies such as House of Charity begin and conclude each day.
