“To stay active in my faith during the summer, I attend Mass weekly with my Grandma. I have been setting aside time daily to read my devotional and pray. I made giving back a priority this summer and have volunteered in new places such as the Second Harvest Food Bank, Martin Luther King Jr. Center, and the Special Olympics Young Athletes program.” - Amelia Lego ’24

“Last summer, we got to be a part of Catholic Hearts Work Camp with the Our Lady of Peace youth group, and we loved it so much that we participated again this year!
