Sunday, July 9, 2017, we kicked off our first week of summer camp with the staff preparing for the arrival of our campers along with having a little fun themselves. Our evening of registration was a rainy start but God’s sunshine was all around us!

By Catholic News Service ORLANDO, Fla. (CNS) — From July 1-4 the main floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Orlando was transformed into a huge parish hall with places for worship, prayer, discussion, and even coffee and doughnuts during the “Convocation of Catholic Leaders: The Joy of the Gospel in America.” At the convocation 3,500 church leaders — men and women religious, bishops and laypeople including 13 leaders from the Diocese of Beaumont and Bishop Curtis Guillory, SVD — gathered to set a new course for the U.S. Catholic Church.
