Consumed by Grace

Thursday morning our Edge Summer Adventure Camp began!  Campers in grades 6/7/8 and young adult leaders - in High School and University - boarded 2 buses in our Parish parking lot, and headed up to Camp White Pine for our annual 6 day Edge Adventure Camp. 58 People went up on the buses Thursday morning, including Stephanie and Fr. Sherwin. (Deacon Robert and I will man the fort here at the parish this weekend).

The leaders are wearing these florescent orange T-Shirts - with the image of Mary and the theme of the week: "Consumed by Grace",  and I am sure they will be able to be spotted easily by the campers!
The Camp involves many regular camp expereineces: swimming, canoeing, zip lines, high ropes courses, and even a human "swing shot!"  Yet the great thing is that these experiences are interspersed with catechesis, and faith filled activities, including Mass and Adoration.  I will be heading up to the camp for Confessions on Monday. (We have over 15 priests going up to hear confessions of 300 campers and 70 youth & adult leaders!).
Please pray for these campers as they continue to be formed in the faith, and enjoy each other in Christian Fellowship.
Peace.
