What is Presentation Quest?
Presentation Quest is an immersion and service program that the Sisters of the Presentation of Dubuque, Iowa, sponsor or promote in learning the root causes of poverty as well as in educating others in earth sustainability. These opportunities allow a deeper understanding of systems that make people poor, of stress on the environment, of diversity of culture, as well as the realization of the need for personal growth.
What
is an Immersion Experience?
An immersion experience is an opportunity to become transplanted into another
situation or living experience that nurtures deep involvement in a
cause or service. This encounter can either facilitate our understanding
of systems
that make people poor or systems that promote violence. It
is a learning and a new awareness to one's personal growth.
What
is a Service Opportunity?
Service opportunities provide hands-on experiences within a different culture
than one's own
or a societal dilemma that requires systemic change. Direct service helps people
survive their present crisis in poverty.
Immersion
and Service Goals:
To raise new awareness of injustice and oppression
To form relationships with people in poverty and
those who minister
to the poor: to be with them,
experience their day to day lives,
to learn from
them
and allow ourselves to be challenged by them
To identify and help to change the systems which perpetuate injustice
and to learn how we can promote social change
To make a positive difference in an area of need
while
working together
with others

Young adults 18 years of age and older, Presentation sisters, associates, family and friends are encouraged to participate. Group size is limited; applications will
