Divers from Australia and France will join delegations from the Netherlands and Team USA to conduct their 2028 Pre-Games Training in the City of Mission Viejo as announced today by the Mission Viejo Nadadores Foundation (MVNF).

Nadadores Diving also announced that several of the teams training in 2028 will also conduct training camps in 2026 and 2027.

As a host city of the bike races in the 1984 LA Olympics to its participation in LA 2028, Mission Viejo and its residents already embrace the excitement of being a part of Olympic competition. The City symbolizes this spirit with an Olympic torch prominently placed on the City seal as well as offering several top-rated facilities. In addition to elevating Mission Viejo on the world’s stage, having these athletes from across the globe and Team USA train in Mission Viejo will further enhance the local economy as the athletes and families utilize City hotels, restaurants, stores and more while here.

“Freely you have received; freely give.” — Matthew 10:8

Today we honor Saints Cosmas and Damian, twin brothers, physicians, and martyrs of the early Church. Known as the Unmercenary Healers, they refused payment for their medical work, choosing instead to serve Christ through selfless care of the sick and poor.

Their witness reminds us that true healing extends beyond the body—it is an act of love that reflects the mercy of God. Cosmas and Damian gave not only their skills, but their very lives, remaining steadfast in their faith even unto martyrdom.

May their example inspire us to offer our gifts generously and to trust in Christ as the Divine Physician of soul and body.
Saints Cosmas and Damian, pray for us. 🙏
