In fact, one of the first meetings Pope Benedict has convoked on his own initia- tive—rather than confirming a gathering originally planned under his predeces- sor—is a Pentecost 2006 encounter with lay-movement representatives. Leaders of 29 movements and commu- nities, including the Focolare movement, Communion and Liberation, the Community of Sant’Egidio, L’Arche and the charismatic renewal, met in late June with officials of the Pontifical Council for the Laity to begin planning the encounter. Guzman Carriquiry, a council official, said the June meeting was a brainstorming session and the real work on the program for a working meeting and a celebration with the pope would begin in the autumn. Pope Benedict is no stranger to the lay movements, so the June meeting began with a review of a speech he gave during a similar Pentecost 1998 meeting at the Vatican with representatives of 50 lay Thomas Arvo, a member of Our Lady of the Greenwood Parish in Greenwood, returns to his seat after receiving Communion from Father William M. movements.

If I ever have kids, I can teach [the virtues] to them.” John Welch, a 12-year-old member of Our Lady of the Greenwood Parish, said he had made many friends at the camp and it showed him “mostly just how to fall in love more with Jesus.” Two of the archdiocese’s newest semi- narians, Chris Casey, a member of St. Barnabas Parish in Indianapolis, and Michael Parrett, a member of Our Lady of the Greenwood, served as two of the camp’s four camp counselors. Casey and Parrett will be freshmen at Marian College in Indianapolis and reside there at the Bishop Bruté House of Formation. Managing a lot of young kids wasn’t new for Parrett, who is the oldest of his family’s 12 children. “I think it’s a great environment for kids,” he said. “It’s been a great experi- ence for me as well. I’ve learned a lot just about leadership in general. It’s been a lot of fun.” The days of the camp were punctuated A group of boys play a game of “push ball” on Aug. 4 at Our Lady of the Apostles Family Center in Hancock County during E6, a vocations camp sponsored by prayer. Mass was celebrated each day. by Our Lady of the Greenwood Parish in Greenwood. The Liturgy of the Hours was also prayed. There were times for eucharistic adoration and praying the rosary and the chaplet of Divine Mercy. Opportunities for the sacra- ment of reconciliation were also available. Finally, E6 was filled with fun. The campers competed in Catholic trivia con- tests and outdoor games. But a spirit of competition pervaded the camp. The boys were divided into four teams. They were given points if they came out on top in games. Acting virtuously and following the camp’s discipline also resulted in the awarding of points. The teams who led the competition at various points during the camp were given special privileges. Father Meyer said that the camp helps build a community of boys and young Above, Father William M.
