Athens Vacation Bible School   One hundred fortythree children attended last week’s Holy Land Adventure to Ancient Greece. Our celebrations in Frawley Hall were awesome. The kids traveled in Oikoi as they played arena games, shared snacks, and visited Marketplace shops. They met the Apostle Paul and his friend Dionysius who inspired the kids to share the truth of God’s immeasurable love. Today, they will celebrate the end of their wonderful adventure with Mass and a family picnic at St. Valentine. VBS reaches so many children and families each summer. It is good to see our Catholic Church living and spreading the Gospel in such an amazing way.  VBS Thank You   Dozens of volunteers gave their time, energy and talent to make sure everything ran smoothly. Adults and youth leaders escorted children around all week and got to know them. Each child that graced our church felt special. Other adults worked out memorable experiences for the children, planning each of their days with fun activities to promote faith growth and a special understanding of our Christian history; it was an experience not soon forgotten. A select few adults were wonderfully “available.” They did not have a designated place during the week in Our Holy Land Adventure, but they were there to do everything necessary to prepare for the week. They spent countless hours setting the scenery, preparing crafts, and allowing themselves to be utilized wherever necessary. They gave very willingly of their time, talents and energy.  I have been working with Vacation Bible School programs for more years than I wish to admit, but I have never been responsible for the whole program before. It was a good exercise in humility to confront the fact that it can’t be done alone. This year provided a special opportunity for our churches to work together. People from across our grouping were willing to try something new, get up early in June, drive to  St. Valentine, and greet each day with a smile. They truly showed the love of God and celebrated His Word! 

Thank you to our CCD volunteers. They are special not only because they have a deep commitment to sharing their faith but because their commitment is to our precious children. Evangelization is a huge buzzword in Catholic circles these days. Yet, “You haven’t been truly evangelized until you evangelize.” So many of our teachers and aides have been evangelizing for years. They see it as a regular activity of the church that is directed to those who identify themselves as practicing Catholics. These volunteers put a lot of time, energy and even money into helping the children of  St. Valentine Parish develop a stronger foundation for spirituality and Catholic living. This year, I am especially grateful for my teachers’ flexibility, enthusiasm, realism and sense of humor that was necessary to help them get through this transition year for me. God bless our CCD teachers and aides.   CCD Registration is now open. It will be held on Mondays at St. Gabriel 6:30 p.m.7:45 p.m., Tuesdays at Nativity 5:00 p.m.6:15 p.m., Wednesdays at St. Germaine 6:15 p.m.7:20 p.m. and Wednesdays at St. Valentine 6:30 p.m. 7:45 p.m., as well as Sundays 11:45a.m.1:00 p.m. A registration form is available as an insert in the bulletin. Please register for the day and time that best suits your family. 7
