Students are also welcome to participate in our CTM program and are offered all the same opportunities for prayer, service, mission trips, conferences and community building.

Vacation Bible School
Our annual VBS program is held the last week in June and depends on the commitment and enthusiasm of many volunteers who provide a week of learning and fun for children age 4 through grade 5.

• Gifts Desired: Love of children, energy and enthusiasm. Volunteers from Grade 9 through adults of every age contribute to the energy of our team. Registration, decorating and planning help is needed before camp opens. On site volunteers are provided with easy planning materials and support. And, of course, help is needed for clean up after camp ends.
• Commitment: Generally, one week of evenings (6 pm to 8:30 pm)
• Opportunity: Great fun! Meet other families in parish. Help in religious formation of children and youth.
