help young people become
STARS of the World, “…
children of God without
fault … Then you will
shine among them like
stars in the sky as you hold
firmly to the word of life”
(Phil 2:15).
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

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.

achan at 541-810-4788
where questions will also
be received and answered.
