Before Starting
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to fill out a mission reference for someone. Before you begin filling out the form, please note that these questions are not intended to be intrusive but come from our experiences with previous missions and are designed to help us gain a full understanding of the applicant and to ensure that mission is a fit for them. We never want to place someone in a situation where they are not safe and healthy.
We know that some of the questions may be hard or uncomfortable to talk about, but know we appreciate your honesty and want to assure you that if the applicant is struggling with the items talked about it isn't an automatic "no" to mission.
On the mission, whether ministering or just socializing, participants will be seen as a representative of Catholic Christian Outreach and a person in ministry. Their life will need to be a model for others; therefore, we need to be confident that they demonstrate consistent Christian character and have the highest moral standards.
If you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact us at missions@cco.ca
