catholic heart work camp
"To share the love of Christ as we serve the neglected, brokenhearted and the marginalized in any way needed. Equally, to inspire participants to live as disciples of Christ through serving others as a way of life; and to foster the Catholic Faith of each participant through the sacraments, prayer and involvement in social service."

(Exact week & location TBA)
Catholic Heart Work Camp is a week-long summer Catholic mission trip where teens (Grades 8-12) can grow spiritually, serve the community, meet other members of the Catholic Church, and renew their faith in God’s love. Campers play hard and work harder while transforming themselves and the world around them. In a world seeking purpose and connection, many Catholic youth are eager to make a meaningful impact while deepening their faith. They seek transformative opportunities that empower them to love as Jesus did and form genuine connections rooted in their Catholic identity.
- Organizing and planning for 2026 Summer CHWC Group is happening NOW!
- Interested Campers - Adult and Youth - should email Anne-Marie and Chris TODAY
- Our 2026 CHWC group will form throughout the school year to prepare for our mission trip next summer.
- 2026 Campers, as a part of their preparation, will be asked to engage in occasional info-planning meetings, service projects, opportunities for communal prayer like Adoration Services, and other community building activities. Most of these are built into regular our parish Youth Ministry calendar of events.
