Join us this summer for an all new middle school day camp, held at St Louis Catholic Church! We're going to journey through the week, looking at what it means for us to be Saints: faster, higher, stronger, how this sets us apart for God and calls us to be great, glorfying God with our whole lives. Each day, we will focus on a different saint, as well as different habits to live out holiness in our daily lives. We will begin at 9 am each morning and end at 3 pm. Each day will be filled with awesome activities, all Olympic themed, so there will be games, skits, a fun field day, times of prayer, a field trip, and much more!
Registration forms are posted below. The early bird price is $55 and runs through May 19th! The registration fee covers all the activities and admission to the field trip desination, a shirt, lunch each day, snacks, and other goodies! After May 19th, the regular registration price is $75.

Parent Involvement in Faith Formation
All youth ministry and faith formation is meant to be an addition to the way the Catholic faith is already being taught and modeled within the home, because parents are the first and primary educators of the faith of their children. This obiligation flows from their own personal baptismal promises and the promises they made on their wedding day to bring their children up "according to the law of Christ and His Church." For this reason, parent participation at information meetings, especially during the years of sacramental preparation for first communion and confirmation, is required. As part of this formation, it is expected that students and damilies attend Mass every Sunday and participate in the sacramental and communal life of the Church. It is through entering into the Mass and living as a part of their Church family that your children will encoutner the true source of formation, Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Parents are required to take part in their student formation and sacramental preparation by participating in classroom formation and at home. Families and students are required to attend Mass every Sunday at St Louis Church. Mass attendance will be monitored. Students who do not attend Mass on Sundays will not be able to move forward to the next level of instruction.
