Considering other scheduled activities, the camp will be from June 14 to 17, from 1 to 4 p.m. for grades one- six. “The Catholic Church is invit- ing parents to send their kids to our June 14-17 Summer Vacation Bible School from 1 to 4 p.m. for a wonderful and fun experience of learning, to help them become ‘shin- ing Stars’ who can face the situations of life with courage and gusto,” said Father Thankachan. As usual, the camp will wind up on Thursday evening with the swim- ming that all the kids will be eager for. On all days of the camp, we will have snacks for the children. In the evening hours’ separate classes, the teenagers will have special attention for related teenage issues and how to tackle them pru- dently. There will also be two days of spiritual learning for the high school teen- agers, grades 7-12, from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, June 14 and 15 with “sumptuous dinner”, and a program conduct- ed by a guest leader who is pursuing his PhD stud- ies in clinical psychology. Youth of other faiths are also invited to attend. The youth need to register their participation by Thursday (tomorrow) evening at saintpatschurch@gmail. com, or text Father Thank- achan at 541-810-4788 where questions will also be received and answered.
