Re-Member is an organization located on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Re-Member hosts groups throughout the spring and summer to engage in service projects on the reservation and to learn about the history and culture of the Oglala Lakota tribe. The service projects typically include repairing homes and building bunk beds, outhouses, and wheelchair ramps. This trip is a great fit for anyone interested in learning about the various issues of poverty and injustice that impact Native American people. Re-Member prides itself on having strong relationships with members of the local community. They seek to serve alongside and empower the people of the Pine Ridge Reservation.

The CFX Pine Ridge service and immersion trip is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors only. After applying in the fall, the applicants will then go through a review process by a committee of faculty, staff, and administration before being selected for the program. Once the participants have been selected, each student will be required to attend regular meetings. This trip will have a higher commitment than other trips, including a number of pre-trip meetings. Applicants must commit to these additional formation experiences to be a part of the program.

Selected students will also participate in fundraising, which will include requesting donations from family, friends, and their home parishes as well as various other fundraising projects to be announced later. Each student will be expected to pay a $350 deposit up front, in addition to raising additional money for air transportation and program fees through mandatory outside fundraising, anticipated to be either $700 or $750. If you are selected for the program and you cannot participate for any reason, you must tell Mr. Alibrandi ASAP and you will be placed on the wait list.
