Service Opportunities & Mission Trip
B.A.S.I.C. engages in several Christian service activities during the year, and each summer, B.A.S.I.C. engages in some kind of mission trip – sometimes locally – and sometimes out of town.
The Summer 2024 Mission Trip is Sunday, July 28 – Saturday, August 3. Sunday through Thursday, we will work with Young People Who Care Inc. in Frenchville, PA, and then end the trip with a retreat debrief day (Friday) at Our Lady of Mt Carmel Camp in Volant, PA before returning home Saturday.
The cost for teen participants is $250 + meal costs during the drives on Sunday and Saturday.
Teen participants must be 14 or older.
Adult chaperone drivers are needed!
Please note: There is no charge for chaperone drivers to attend! Chaperone drivers must be practicing Catholics who can be good leaders and role models for Catholic teen volunteers. Chaperone drivers must 21 or older, be Safe Environment trained, and pass a background check. Chaperone drivers will be reimbursed for gas costs. The Adult Driver PDF below has more information.
Please contact John Boutin if you are interested in helping at (248) 689-8380 Ext. 108 or by email.
The deadline for turning in the forms and payment has been extended to Friday, June 21.

RISE Conference
RISE is the annual Archdiocese of Detroit’s all-day conference for high schoolers with dynamic speakers, powerful music and worship experiences, breakout sessions, small group discussion, and Liturgy. St. Anastasia takes a group of teens to the conference each year.
Next year’s conference will be Sunday, February 2, 2025.
Fast-a-thon
Fast-a-thon is a yearly lock-in that begins on Good Friday and ends on Holy Saturday. Teens are encouraged to fast together for on Good Friday as they reflect on the Lord’s Passion. Together they break the fast with a large breakfast cooked by the Teen Council on Holy Saturday. (If health reasons prohibit a teen from fasting, arrangements can be made and he or she may still attend!)
Retreats
B.A.S.I.C. goes on two retreats during the school year, a fall retreat and a spring retreat. Retreats last from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon and are conducted off-site at overnight retreat centers. The weekend usually consists of games and team-building activities, free time, Mass, many opportunities for prayer and Adoration, small groups, and more. Each retreat is based around a theme that is relevant to teens living their faith. The youth minister and CORE lead the fall retreat, and the Teen Council leads the spring retreat.
The Fall Retreat 2024 will be October 18-20 at Michigan Christian Youth Camp in Attica.
The Spring Retreat 2025 will be May 2-4 at Our Lady of the Fields Camp in Brighton.
