Fun-Filled Days of Vacation Bible School!

Through experiencing the themes/lessons of this year's program, our children will gain a deeper awareness and appreciation of the truths to be found in the teachings of St. Paul.

This year's format responds to "The Year of St. Paul". As children are full of energy, we keep the "vacation" in Vacation Bible School by providing activities, skits or games after every lesson. Sensational crafts and upbeat, lively songs strengthen and enrich the overall program.

As last year, parallel presentations are offered for adults! So, bring your children and stay to learn about your faith and thereby grow closer to God. If you don't have children, sign up yourself and come, everyone is welcome!

Reconciliation, Faith, Hope, Love, and the Call to Rejoice are covered on consecutive days. Our week will culminate with a "Taste of the Mediterranean Festival" following Mass on Saturday evening and will include a slideshow of the week's activities and fun.

If you or your children are interested in participating or volunteering for VBS please fill out the signup form.

Please Join us for the Youth Mass!
Closing Ceremony and Cover dish "Taste of the Mediterranean Festival" - Sat. June 27!

The Closing Ceremony and meal is a celebration of the children's participation in the growth that takes place through their involvement in the VBS Program. It also provides an opportunity for parents, friends and relatives to gain an appreciation for the role VBS plays in teaching the Catholic faith to children in a meaningful and enjoyable fashion.

Service Project

The Cheerful Giver
Paul's burning desire to provide Spiritual nourishment to all he met identifies the Christian's call to share.

The Bible Tells us:
"God Loves a cheerful giver."
2 Corinthians 9:7

During the week children will be encouraged to bring in donations for our service project.

The Virtues of faith, hope and love were given to us at Baptism. Love is the greatest of all virtues. Jesus made love a new commandment; a law of love. We serve God by sharing our love in deed and action. We must practice the virtues. CCC1816, 1827, 1813, 1823
