The MVUP is part of an International teen peace project dedicated to promoting a peaceful parity of esteem between Roman Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. We are one of over 25 communities in the US that host Catholic and Protestant Northern Ireland teens and Counselors for the month of July.
