How

Bring a Team to Your Parish Mission
Through their witness marked by the joy and hope of faith, the Young
Disciples Teams seek to challenge youth to love Jesus Christ and to embrace the
life of His Church – their mission is evangelization and catechesis.

Summer Camps
For 10 weeks in the summer, the Young Disciples Teams conduct weeklong day
camps for grades K-6 and evening teen missions for rural parishes and
reservations. Parishes may also ask teams to conduct family activities and
participate in other community affairs. Daily Mass and Reconciliation are a part
of every camp. The teams also proclaim the Gospel through small groups, prayer,
music, drama, games and crafts. Participants are given the opportunity to “yes”
to Jesus in their daily lives.
Similar to other Catholic internships, we
need men and women who love Jesus and His Church, are at least 18 years
old and are available for 10 WEEKS NEXT SUMMER, May 17-July 31, 2012.

come from 31 different states and the
countries of Portugal, Ireland and Slovakia. They have conducted over 270 day camps
and a similar number of teen missions and adults nights, reaching thousands of
