The third annual Little Catholics Bible Camp was held at Camp Arroya on Lake Mitchell, SD from July 29-31 with the theme “Here I am Lord – Send me!”
The camp had a record attendance of over 115 campers in grades K-8 and over 30 volunteers, counselors, and leaders including both students and adults. This year, the camp expanded to include middle school.
The camp included outdoor Mass, daily chapel, crafts, nature hikes, fishing, “Saints & Science” experiments, outdoor cooking, knot-tying, games, archery, kayaking and lunch, where all the students sat down together and prayed before eating.
Camp Leader and educator Sarah Timmer began the camp in 2022 as a way to share her fond memories of camp growing up and her love of Jesus. Thank you to all the volunteers and leaders, and special thank you to those who donated time or resources to make the activities possible, including Ron’s Bike Shop, Cabela’s, Boy Scouts, and John & Linda McLeod.
Several young adults from our parishes had the opportunity to participate in a Pro Ecclesia Sancta-led international mission trip in June near Huancayo, Peru.
Attendees from our parishes included Kanin Nelson, Kellen Odell, Miranda Hanson, Connor Singrey, Brady Wilson, Elyssa Delehant, and Br. Bryan Esquivias, PES. There were a total of 35 missionaries and four religious priests, brothers and sisters.
The trip and mission work occurred at a Pro Ecclesia Sancta mission center call Misiones Huascaran, located in the Andes of Peru, outside of the city Huancayo. Mission work included working on a chapel located at the cemetery, which is used by seven different villages to bury their deceased. The work included digging, making and laying concrete, and plastering the walls. In addition to construction, the women missionaries also worked with catechesis of the local children.
The Pro Ecclesia Sancta community hopes to take another local group of missionaries to Peru next year. Any college-aged youth are encouraged to be on the lookout for an invitation for this life-changing experience.
Volunteers are needed to help celebrate our 2024 Pastorate Summer Festival with a special honor for Sr. Marita & Sr. Nancy who will be celebrating jubilees! Thank you in advance for your generosity.
