Summer Events

Vacation Bible School

June 8-12 at Mother of Sorrows 1 PM- 4 PM

Registration details coming soon!

North Castle is hidden in a frozen land. The King’s valiant Knights are on a quest in search of the King’s Armor. But the armor isn’t what they think it is. 

VBS 2020, Knights of the North Castle invites children to be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power by exploring how we put on the armor of God. Kids will take on the role of brave Knights and begin their quest each session by opening the King’s Book. 

They’ll explore Old and New Testament stories and discover different pieces of protective armor at work in the lives of familiar bible characters, and explore how that armor works in their own lives as they follow and serve God. 

Manus Christi

June 13-18

Mission trip to Huttonsville, WV

Manus Christi is Latin for “Hands of Christ.” Manus Christi is an active reflection of St. Teresa’s words, mixing vibrant prayer, engaging catechesis and formation, and significant service with and to those in need. This week-long service and mission experience offered by the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston gives entering 9-12 graders the opportunity to encounter Christ in those in need while learning about and living the concepts of personal dignity, the common good, solidarity, and subsidiarity.*

*Personhood, common good, solidarity, and subsidiarity are the four central principles of Catholic Social Teaching — YOUCAT p. 181

This week-long service and mission experience will take place at the Mary Help of Christians Pastoral Center. 
 
      The total cost is $380 for youth and chaperones. Transportation is included and will be provided by the Diocese of Greensburg. A portion of the fee ($190) is eligible for the Francis Fund grant.
