MADE KNOWN
Middle School Discipleship Camp
We are all called to become saints — to follow Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life — but what does that look like? What are the foundations of living a holy life? What does it mean to be a saint?
Made Known is a summer camp designed specifically for middle school youth that reveals what it means to be a saint. Each day lays out different foundations in the path of holiness, providing a diverse selection of saints as examples. The youth will learn the importance of loving God, seeking truth, and having courage as they follow Jesus on the path to sainthood. We are offering this camp June 29-July 3 8:30am-3pm and the cost is $50 that includes a shirt, lite breakfast and lunch. Due to Covid-19 we are only allowing a small group of students to participate in order to follow social distancing measures that will be in place for our camp. This camp includes prayer, mass, adoration, games, leadership development and some service opportunity. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
St. Timothy Sports Camps Canceled
Unfortunately due to the Covid-19 our St. Timothy Sports Camps have been canceled this year. It was our hope that we would be able to manage our sports camps safely in June but we are limiting the usage of our Youth Center and all of our sports camps have some form of unsafe contact. We hope to continue our Sports Camps next year at St. Timothy. We hope you all understand our decision.

Youth Ministry is transitioning to meeting online with students. We are doing this primarily in Zoom meetings. We are working very hard on these gatherings to make them interactive, fun and engaging to keep them growing as a disciple during this time being locked-in. We want all of our students Middle and High School to log-in and join us. Please encourage your child to join us online and hopefully make it a priority for them to continue to grow in their faith.
How To Set Up Zoom Meetings:
This is where we will meet daily with students. As the host, Justin Lantz will have full access to mute students’ video or audio, allow students to join the group, and the group will end when I exit the meeting.
