YOUTH MINISTRY - WORKCAMPS
Middle School WorkCamp
(2012 date to be determined)
Middle School WorkCamp is an experience of service and fellowship designed to help students live out their Catholic faith. This is accomplished through direct service with people in need, communal prayer and worship, small group discussions, talks, and much more. MSWC is based locally at Good Shepherd with work sites nearby. The work you do depends on what work site you are assigned but is typically light home improvement, painting, yard work, or some similar task. Take a look at the 2011 application to see what the daily schedule is like. All work is well supervised and safe. Contact Miguel for more information.

If you are only interested in completing service hours, WorkCamp is probably not for you. If you are open to God working in you and through you, and if you are interested in serving your brothers and sisters in Christ, then WorkCamp will probably be an amazing experience for you. WorkCamp requires a great deal of preparation and a lot of prayers! We also need to raise substantial amounts of money. Therefore the planning begins months in advance, and our WorkCamp Team is solidified by February. Contact Miguel for more information. |
