🔎✨ VBS Day 3: Another Clue Uncovered! ✨🔎

Our detectives continued their adventure in Marvelous Mystery: The Mass Comes Alive, discovering how the Last Supper reveals Jesus' great gift of the Holy Eucharist.

Yesterday's virtue was Faith—trusting in God and believing His promises, even when we cannot see the whole picture. As we learned about the Last Supper, we were reminded that faith leads us to trust Jesus when He says, “This is my Body” and “This is my Blood.”

We also learned about St. Michael the Archangel, the powerful defender who reminds us to trust in God's protection and remain faithful in following Him.

With lessons, crafts, games, music, and prayer, Day 3 was another exciting step in solving the greatest mystery of all: Jesus' Real Presence in the Mass.

We have one night of VBS left, this will be a celebration for the whole family. We will play games and experience Jesus in our closing Mass. This has been a marvelous week.

🔎✨ VBS Day 2: Following the Clues! ✨🔎

Our young detectives were back on the case for Day 2 of Marvelous Mystery: The Mass Comes Alive, uncovering more clues that lead us to the greatest mystery of all—Jesus truly present in the Holy Eucharist.

Yesterday's virtue was Peace, reminding us that Jesus desires to fill our hearts with His peace, even in the midst of life's challenges. We also learned about Mary, our Blessed Mother, whose trust in God and gentle faith always lead us closer to her Son.

One of the highlights of the evening was spending time with Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration, giving our detectives a special opportunity to pray, listen, and rest in His presence.

From faith-filled lessons and crafts to games, music, and prayer, Day 2 was another wonderful step in our adventure together. Thank you to all of our volunteers, families, and parishioners who continue to make VBS such a blessing!
