Welcome to our 2023 Vacation Bible School (VBS) Registration page which will be held from July 24 through July 28. Please signup below by July 7.
Dear Religious Formation/St. Matthew School Families,
This annual event is a week-long celebration for young students where we learn about our faith in a fun, creative, and different way.
Who?
VBS is geared primarily for children aged 5-10. Students 10-12 are also welcome as role models for the younger ones. Teenagers are welcome as volunteers to be group leaders. Students preparing for Confirmation may earn parish task hours for helping with VBS. Adult volunteers are also very welcome! Contact me if you need to go through our Virtus Program background check.
What?
Our theme this year is "A Radical Ride on the Wings of Prayer (with Amazing Angels and Super Saints)! Travel is our goal this year and each day will focus on a different country and a saint from that country. Each day we gather in the cafeteria for our opening assembly where we will learn about the Destination Country, the Saint of the Day, the Virtue of the Day, and we will learn some fun songs that teach us about our faith.
After the opening assembly, we break into groups and travel to 5 different stations - Games, Snack, Craft, Music, and Faith. At each station we will do activities that tie into the lessons for the day.
After everyone has done all the stations, we gather for the closing assembly to tie everything together before going home.
When?
July 24-28 from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM
Where?
St. Matthew Cafeteria (directly under the church)
If you would like to register, the cost is $75 for the week. ($135 for two, $185 for three or more in the same household).
