WOW! We've had such an incredible response to this year's Vacation Bible School that we are now full! There are 60 young campers ready to spelunk (the official word for cave exploration) through 5 days of music, games, science projects, prayer and great snacks as we follow Jesus, the Light of the World!  VBS runs August 8-12 from 9-12:30 in St Anne Parish Hall for children connected with both St Anne and St Joseph Churches.

A small waitlist is being created: please contact our VBS director Mary at mforcier@hamiltondiocese.com to add your name. 

Youth Volunteers Needed
We are still looking for youth finishing grades 6-12 to run stations, lead small groups, present the day's themes, and more. VBS is a great way to gain experience for future summer jobs, spend time with kids and other youth volunteers, and have a LOT of fun. Whether your thing is science, music, sports, art, hanging out and talking, or making snacks, we need you! We offer training ahead of time, and volunteers return to this program year after year.  

Youth applications are due by July 10. Please see application for all volunteer dates.

After careful consideration, we have now made a final decision about VBS this summer. Due to the ongoing uncertainty about gathering numbers, and with the greatest of concern for the safety of the young people we work with, we have made the difficult decision to postpone this year's Vacation Bible School until the summer of 2021.

Our younger children and our youth leaders will be disappointed, but the ongoing uncertainty about numbers of people being permitted to gather and our utmost concern for the safety of the children dictated this decision. Rest assured that VBS will return - when able - just as good as ever. 

This summer, young people from our parish and beyond spent a fun-filled week learning that Jesus' love is one-of-a-kind!

 

Thank you to all who made our 2018 Shipwrecked Vacation Bible School such a success! Together, 20 volunteers and 40 children spent the week learning that JESUS RESCUES!
