Each day during VBS we will sing, dance, learn about our Catholic faith, and build community. This year's theme is: True North!The ultimate Alaskan adventure. VBS helps kids discover what it means to trust Jesus in a wild world and that He’s our True North!
Kids will participate in memorable Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, make and devour yummy treats, experience one-of-a-kind Bible Adventures, collect Bible Memory Buddies to remind them of Jesus’ love, and test out sciency-fun experiments they’ll never forget. Registration Begins March 1.
Adult Volunteers Needed!
VBS is just around the corner, and we need your help! We are looking for adult volunteers to join our team. This is a wonderful opportunity to engage with children through activities that share the love of God. If you enjoy playing games, making crafts, telling bible stories and singing songs, we would love to have you on board! If you're interested or know someone who might be, please contact Isabel Sutter at 651-415-3349 or [email protected]. Thank you for helping us spread the word! Click here to see where you can help!
The week is filled with faith, fun, and friendship. There are silly skits and songs, recess, water fights, and all of the many Totus Tuus Olympic challenges. Our college-age teachers and provide an authentic witness to the students. The program is tailored for two age groups:
The Grades 1-6 group enjoys lively lessons filled with fun games, daily Mass, and culminates in a water fight and ice cream celebration, all while instilling a love for the Eucharist and a devotion to Mary. Kids in grades 1-6 must bring their own lunches.
For those in Grades 7-12, the focus is on cultivating a personal relationship with the Lord through experiences such as Adoration, Reconciliation, engaging catechetical lessons, and fellowship activities. Dinner will be offered for 7-12th graders at 6PM and the lessons will begin at 6:30PM.
This year's theme, "The Sacraments" alongside the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary, invites participants to explore their faith more deeply.
Youth Ministry Retreat August 2-3, 2025 The retreat runs from Saturday morning through Sunday evening and is an overnight retreat. If you want to participate but don't want to stay overnight, you can be picked up and brought back the next morning. Please email Ricky at [email protected] if you have any questions about lodging, food accommodations, schedule, etc.
This retreat is a great opportunity for those in grades 8-12 to take the next step into their faith and explore deeper into their prayer life. For those in 8th grade Confirmation, attendance fulfils their retreat requirement for the year. There will be other options for a confirmation retreat too but if you'd like your child to experience a retreat in August, this is a great option!
