This year's mission trip of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church will be to New Orleans, a change from the church's previous trips to Mexico. The rise in drug related violence in Mexico has been cited as the decision to move the trip to a domestic locale. The dozen students will be working to rebuild a house in the city's Lower Ninth Ward during the week long trip.
