Psalm 23:4

Dear Parishioners,
On Sunday, August 16, 2026, our Church will gather in prayer to commemorate the 1 year Memorial of the passing of our dearly beloved, Aissa Adde.

Though a year has passed, his memory continues to live on in our hearts. Aissa was a cherished member of our parish whose kindness touched so many lives. He is deeply loved, missed, and lovingly remembered.

We warmly invite you to join us as we pray for the peaceful repose of his soul and ask God to grant him eternal rest. May the Lord continue to comfort his family and all who mourn his loss.
A mercy meal will be offered on his soul, after the mass, in the Church Hall.

On day 3 & 4 our campers explored powerful Bible stories that showed them what it means to serve others like Christ, submit to the Lord, and grow in their trust and faith.
The excitement continued with action-packed games that brought each lesson to life! From carefully balancing their way through the "Steps of Faith," to weathering the "Survive the Storm" challenge, and getting splashed during the "Washing of the Feet" bucket challenge, every activity was filled with laughter, teamwork, and meaningful moments. What an incredible couple of days of learning, growing, and making memories together!
The last day of camp is always bitter sweet! Although the campers are sad to say goodbye, the kids leave with deep bonds, and life-long memories of a spiritually and socially nourishing week to remember!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
It takes a village to see our camp through!
To each camper, chaperone, and helper, you are appreciated! Till next year…

We kicked off the week by diving into the amazing story of Moses and the Parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14), where campers learned about the incredible trust and faith Moses placed in God.
The day was filled with exciting crafts, interactive activities, laughter, and lots of fun as campers discovered that God is always with us, even when we face our own "Red Sea" moments. 🌊💛
We can't wait for another awesome day of learning, growing, and making memories together! 🙌
