DSHA Vocare Volunteers- MCP3 partners every year with DSHA (Divine Savior holy Angels) High School and welcomes students for their immersive two-week service program called Vocare. Latin for to draw forth, to call, Vocare is an opportunity for DSHA students to use their gifts and talents in service to who God has called them to be in the world – women of integrity and faith, who strive to be the goodness and kindness of Jesus wherever they are. This program sends every DSHA senior into the greater Milwaukee community to give of herself to others. It is the capstone to four years of service and helps DSHA students to integrate for themselves the depth of what it means to be Dashers – women of faith, critical thinkers, effective communicators and servant leaders. Vocare will take place February 24 through March 7, 2025 and volunteers will be introduced to families on Dojo.
