“The children see their Church in action, which will make a big impact in the long run. They see people of all ages being excited about our Catholic faith, taking time to share it with them through skits, saints-in-costume, games, crafts, songs, and discussion. I believe seeds have been planted in all the children that, with careful nourishing, will develop into a deeper understanding of faith.”
“VBS is an amazing experience for our children. They bond with fellow Catholics their age and bring home exceptional crafts which can be kept for years to come. The saints come alive; Mass and Reconciliation are celebrated. What more could you ask for in a summer program?”
“VBS is engaged, multi-generational Church at its best. The day opens and closes with lively singing and dancing together, which builds and strengthens the sense of Christian community.”
“VBS definitely passes the litmus test for pre-adolescents. It creates Christian community where it’s ‘cool’ to have faith and celebrate it. The jousting, catapults, and water balloon fights didn’t hurt either!”
“I have never met a kid who was happy to have VBS end. Every child has a blast during a fun-filled, themed week and wants to come back next year, even if too old to participate, but to volunteer.”
