Summer Mission Trip

Catholic Heart Work Camp Mission Trip 2012
Champaign, Illinois
July 8^th-14^th

Last July, we took 34 high school students & 6 adult chaperones to Austin, Texas to serve for a week some of our nations poor and underprivileged through Catholic Heart Work Camp. While we were there, our students and Adult chaperones were put into teams with other youth groups from around the country and sent out each day to either paint, clean, serve, or help in a food bank. After returning in the late afternoon, the students would shower, eat dinner and gather together for a high energy and inspiring evening session each night. We spent our last day in Texas at SIix Flags and had a blast. If you ask any of the students that went last Summer, you are sure to hear that their favorite parts of the camp, were either working as a team, meeting other Catholic Teens from around the country, or the great evening sessions put on by the Catholic Heart Work Camp college and young adult teams. What many of the students took away from this years trip was a new found appreciation for their faith as well as a call to serve those in our Family, Church, Community, and World!

We have reserved 34 High School and 6 Adult Chaperone Spots for next summers Catholic Heart Work Camp. If you have a current 8th grade student who will be in the 9th grade of Fall '12 or any current High School student, then, please make out a $75 check to Magdalen for the *non-refundable camp deposit. Once we have received your check, we will reserve a spot on our trip. You may mail the check to the Church office @ 12626 E 21st. St. North, Wichita, KS 67206 or drop it off to me after any of this weekends Masses to Chris Roth or in the parish office.

Our Youth Ministry Teams

Disclaimer: These are NOT All or Nothing volunteer positions. Many of the teams are only a couple of hours a month. See if you can find a team that fits your interests and schedule.

• Cheerleader Team: Give us feedback on our ministry, our students, or our staff. You can help us see where our ministry is growing! Write us a note, send us an email, give us a call or tell one of our team members. This part of the ministry is on your own time and as long or little as you want to make it.
• Prayer Team: Our ministry will continue to grow and impact the lives of the youth in our parish in large part because of this team. Members will offer an hour of adoration, personal Mass intention, or rosary for our youth and volunteers. 1 hour a month.
• Office Help Team: Help design fliers, maintain our database, assist with little office projects, and help the youth minister spend more time planning talks, retreats, and events. 2-4 hours a month.
• Environment & Service Team: Join a rotating schedule in which dad's can help set-up and take down chairs & tables and mom's can help serve and clean up snacks at MAX or ECHO nights at least every other month. 2 hours every other month.
• Resource Team:  This team brings structure to our ministry by helping develop a relevant and engaging plan that will be carried out throughout the year by our hands on team. Work with a small team to brainstorm topics and ways to incorporate retreats, rally's, and out reach events within the year. 2-4 hours a month.
  
• Drama/Skit Team: Help bring the message of the night alive by directing and working with high school and/or middle school students on our drama team. Our goal will be to have one Skit a month. The skits are typically 1-2 minutes long and and leaders will be able to use skit books and ideas. 2-4 hours a month.
• Hands-On Team: Work directly with youth and care for students. Help teach, lead small-groups, and work with other team members to support our kids in their games and activities. Youth do not care about how much you know, until they know how much you care! If you have an open heart to God, he will show you how you can minister to today’s youth. 2-3 hours a week is the time commitment.

 If you would like to be a part of a team or have any questions, then contact Chris Roth at 616-0730 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
