Summer Camp Revamp
We are sad to announce that summer camps, as we have come to know them, will have to be canceled for this summer. This includes our Leadership Camps as well as our Reach programs scheduled in various places around the diocese.  However, we are anticipating the hiring of a number of students this summer who will assist in creating and implementing a number of fun and creative initiatives for families, children, and teens that will be available to a larger number of parishes and individuals than we are normally able to serve. The job postings can be found at www.dol.ca/employmentvolunteering and we encourage applications from around the diocese. 

Connecting with Young People and Families 

As we continue to find new ways to reach out to young people and their families during this challenging time, we want to direct your attention to two Facebook links that may be of interest.  The Diocese of London Youth Ministry Outreach page is a place where we are sharing what is going on in youth ministry in the Diocese, and each Tuesday and Friday afternoon there is a live video discussing ways in which parishes and staff are reaching out to our families and young people. The Diocese of London Social Media Chat group is for staff and volunteers who are responsible for, or assisting with, your parish's social media presence. You will find posts, pictures, and other good things that can be shared to your parish's social media sites.
