Lumen Christi is a partnership program of the Diocese of Sioux Falls and Catholic parishes that gathers college students and seminarians into teams of four missionaries and sends them out to communities across eastern South Dakota. The missionaries host a 'VBS' style camp in the mornings for grade school kids and youth nights in the evenings for middle and high school students.
When: Monday, June 12th - Thursday, June 15th
Who: Any child going into grades 1-6 from 8:30am - 12pm
Youth going into grades 7-12 from 7 - 9pm
Where: Sacred Heart Parish Hall (411 3rd Ave SE)
Why: Lumen Chrsiti is a time to grow in faith alongside others in our community! Daily camp includes games, skits, class, snack, prayer, and lots of fun.
Youth nights are a time to hang out with and learn what it means to live the faith as a young person from our missionaries.
Cost: $15/child - includes a t-shirt and daily snack!
