Summer camp. Whether you went to one for scouts, sports or church, it brings back such strong memories, doesn’t it? This summer, hundreds of youth in our Archdiocese are experiencing the integration of faith and a lot of fun at Extreme Faith Camp at its new home – Trinity Woods – in Trego, Wisconsin.  

Tim Healy, president of Minnesota Catholic Youth Partnership, joined host Patrick Conley to give an update on how camp is going.

It’s summertime and the living is... busy – right?! While there’s no school and many of us are blessed to take vacation, it’s a different kind of busy for Practicing Catholic families – particularly for those with small people. So, how do we keep our family’s focus on Christ as we find ourselves with some un-structured time?

We thought it would be best to check-in with an expert on the subject – Nell O’Leary - Catholic speaker, event emcee, wife, mother of five kids, and parishioner at Saint Agnes in Saint Paul.

Connect with Nell and see her work.
