VBSCarlo's Highway to Heaven!
June 23 - 27
VBS is for 1st - 5th grade students from 9am - 2pm.
Grade Level is based on what grade your child will be entering in Fall 2025.A full day of skits, games, crafts, musics, snacks, lunch, and so much more! Our focus this year is on the Eucharist through the eyes of Blessed Carlo Acutis. On April 27, Blessed Carlo Acutis is being canonized a Saint!According to the Catholic News Agency, "Acutis, an Italian computer-coding teenager who died of cancer in 2006, is known for his great devotion to the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
Born in 1991, Acutis is the first millennial to be beatified by the Catholic Church. Shortly after his first Communion at the age of 7, Acutis told his mother: “To always be united to Jesus: This is my life plan.
To accomplish this, Acutis sought to attend daily Mass as often as he could at the parish church across the street from his elementary school in Milan.
Acutis called the Eucharist “my highway to heaven,” and he did all in his power to make this presence known. His witness inspired his own parents to return to practicing the Catholic faith and his Hindu au pair to convert and be baptized.
Acutis was a tech-savvy kid who loved computers, animals, and video games. His spiritual director has recalled that Acutis was convinced that the evidence of Eucharistic miracles could be persuasive in helping people to realize that Jesus is present at every Mass." VBS Camp Rose Jr. is for PreK & Kindergarten students from 9am - 11:30am. Half the time, a whole lot of fun! Children will learn about the rosary while playing gmes, crafts, music, and snacks!
