- Campers will be assigned a mentor (an older kid) to stay with them and go with them from station to station.

Denise Botto, who is running the program for the parish, said “We all live busy, busy lives. Finding the time to learn about our faith can be difficult.” She said the presence of the Lighthouse Media kiosk provides many options to meet parishioners’ needs whether it’s a CD to listen to on the way to work, a DVD to watch or a book to read.

Eagle Scout project brings liturgical readings to homebound parishioners
Eagle Scout and St. Catherine’s parishioner Alex La Tournous created a way for the homebound to receive The Word of God when they can’t get to Mass. He and his fellow Scouts read select Scripture readings that the homebound can borrow on CD along with a CD player and headset. Or, they can stream the readings with one click from a web page he created for our parish website.
If you or someone you know would like to have the Word of God available for listening in your own home, just click here to launch “The Word of God” project or call the Parish Office for more information. (Read more…)
