    What is Ven a Ver?
    Ven a Ver immersions are justice-focused trips rooted in reflection, prayer, and action. Ven a Ver is Spanish for the phrase “come and see.” Jesus invited his disciples to “come and see” what he was all about. Today, Jesus invites us to spend time meeting our dear neighbors, working towards justice so that we may participate in the creation of a world where the dignity of all people and creation is upheld and respected.
