The Archdiocese of Detroit Justice Immersion Experience is for people what are willing to have their lives touched and forever changed. During your time in Ecuador, you will have to opportunity to meet with Ecuadorans, hear their stories, and accompany them for a short time in their daily lives. As a group of North Americans, you will also have the opportunity to reflect together on the challenge this experience offers personally, politically, and spiritually. We hope that the stories you hear and the experiences that you have will lead you to continue to work towards justice and peace in Ecuador and in your home comminuty. To participate in the AoD Ecuador Immersion Trip is to enter into an ongoing dialogue with the people of Ecuador and with other North Americans; a dialogue which we hope will challenge the heart, mind, and spirit.
