This wonderful week brings all ages together as we welcome campers, counselors and adult directors to be a part of the fun- filled activities of this Bible Camp. Activities are planned that include daily bible lessons, crafts, singing, recreation and snacks, camp talent show and a closing camp Mass on Friday.
It is with regret that we announce Children’s Church will not be offered at 10a.m. Mass this year. We are very grateful for the volunteers that enabled us to offer this wonderful ministry for the young children for so many years.
