VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL 2017
What a wonderful experience we shared as we spent the week learning about the 7 Sacraments and the graces we receive from them! Families, friends and volunteers totaled up to 112. Inside activities included learning about the grace filled Sacraments of our Catholic Church, pep rallies and crafting. We concluded each evening with family fun and games outside; relay races, hula hooping, rock wall climbing and the annual water works, complimented by the Hope Mills fire truck! What a great week of Catholic Fellowship. So much was done by So many people. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a Huge success on all levels!!
Can’t wait to do it all again next year!
