Faith and Music shine through summer VBS
Thanks to Dean Schneider for this review on the Cat Chat VBS program.
As more and more Catholic parishes are choosing to offer summer programs for their children, Vacation Bible School, or “VBS” remains the well-known favorite. While some parishes make do with “Catholicized” Protestant programs, many now seek to offer a more distinctly Catholic experience.
The creators of the wildly popular1 Cat. Chat audio series (short for Catholic Chat) set out to
meet the demand with a VBS; program that was fun, simple, dynamic and above all, distinctly Catholic. With “Cool Kingdom Party”, they sure have delivered!
With music, teaching and fun activities, kids learn how “Mary Leads Me Closer to Jesus” and the importance of making Jesus King of their lives. The creative, 5-day program, aimed at kids ages 4-11, is designed for groups of any size, home or parish.
Based on what testimonies I’ve heard so far, kids, parents and coordinators alike seem to love it. “This Cat. Chat VBS was very uplifting”, said Maria Baker from Holy Family Parish in Saint Albert, AB. “The kids loved the program! Parents were raving at the end of the week.”
