Introducing Tracking Mary, Mysteries and Messages VBS. As passengers on The Queen of Heaven Express, children will travel with our Blessed Mother to some of the faraway places she appeared. While visiting Our lady of Guadalupe, children will learn that she has been declared the “Patroness of the Unborn.” Mary appears as a pregnant mother and carries Jesus in her womb, proclaiming the sanctity of life. She gives us hope and challenges all of us to carry out the Gospel of Life in our daily lives. We are called to respect and protect all human life, and help the families who bring new life into the world. Included is our unique Family Catechesis (written in English & Spanish ) and our Respect Life Service Project designed for children and their families to pray and support the Respect Life Ministries within their parish and communities. We call our campers Disciples in Training – Disciples for Life!

We just love to receive those incredible pictures and ideas from all those who coordinate our totally Catholic VBS Programs. Below is a picture from Nicole Ruiz, Coordinator of VBS at Santa Teresa, San Jose, CA after using Parachute with the Angels in 2018. They took pennies from our Service Project - Pennies from Heaven- and created the picture of Michael the Archangel from pennies from all nationalities - placed it in front of the Altar celebrating Mass at VBS. It is beautiful. When you have a solid FUN Catholic tool - it is amazing what creative ideas are generated from the VBS Team. Thank you!

A huge thanks to Alena Camarata for sharing these photos with us! We love all of the creative and fun ideas you all came up with! We appreciate you, and can't wait to work with you again! Thank you for sharing this with us:

Just a few pictures from our Catholic Kids Camp last week. Thank you so much for an excellent program. A special thank you to the wonderful customer service given by Melissa Kaiser and Susan Lawson who responded quickly to save the day when I discovered my clip art CD was broken and they replaced it free of charge. We are already looking forward to next year's program Tracking Mary. You have a fantastic program and an amazing group of dedicated professionals may God bless you in your Ministry.

Growing with the Saints thanks All Saints Church in Gladstone, MI for their continued support for our ministry and their incredible videos they enjoy sharing with all of us! Please take a moment to visit their website and view Tracking Mary along with the others. Thank you Kathy and your VBS team All Saints Gladstone ! See below:



Hi Susan, Mary and Melissa,

Last week here at All Saints Church in Gladstone, Michigan we finished our "Tracking Mary" VBS program.

We have purchased your programming over the last three years-

2015- Parade around the Our Father

2016- Parachute with the Angels

2017- Tracking Mary

Each year our Pastor (Fr. Jamie Ziminski) has made a video of our great campers and helpers taking part in the VBS Programs.

I thought you and your staff would enjoy watching them and see how your hard work and efforts were used here at All Saints.

Please go to our website www.allsaintsgladstone.org to view them. The links to 2015 and 2016 are in the top right corner and the 2017 video was recently posted.

Thanks again for making available these Catholic based VBS Programs and we look forward to next year.



Sincerely,

Kathy Kohtala

Here is another awesome video from St. Bartholomew, Wayzata, MN! This is from their very FIRST Catholic Kidz Camp 2016 with the Vatican Express. Look how they build the Vatican and the Swill Guard costumes! I hope this continues to show our larger Catholic community that with a good solid FUN Catholic program, enthusiasm, and passion for our faith – families and children will be on fire for a Catholic camp teaching the truths! Thank you Mr. Andrew Allen and the VBS team!

St. Philip Neri, Fort Mill, SC, is getting ready for their Tracking Mary Catholic Kidz Camp! They decided to make the 5 included Apparitions come live through daily skits. We just received three incredible backdrops they are working on from Natalie Burt who not only helps coordinate their summer VBS, but also helps produce Growing with the Saints Summer Camp Music! We are so grateful to Natalie and their VBS team and can’t wait to hear from them once they too complete their summer camp!

We are thrilled to receive the incredible picture of the Tracking Mary Train provided by Lucia and her VBS team from St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church Lucia said she started one year in advance to plan this very special VBS to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Fatima! They have been participating in our totally Catholic VBS programs since the beginning because she loves the Catholic content – so much so – that she even translates some of the materials into Spanish for her families. She is so dedicated to teaching the truths of the Catholic faith.

THANK YOU LUCIA!
