We want to extend a sincere thank you to all the parishes that sent and/or sponsored a camper. We had a total of $11,312 in parish scholarships! This is a great testament to how important our youth are to the life of their parish. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to continue this ministry and for helping us to teach, nurture and bring up these young people in the Word of God.
