Prayin' in Memphis

4 corners is a very memorable experience for CHWC campers. It is a time for prayer, reflection, and reconciliation. Many campers find 4 corners the highlight of their week. Below are some pictures of that night in Memphis, TN.

It is hard to believe that CHWC 2008 is almost over. The last week of camps take place in Kearny, Mobile, Buffalo and Piedras Negras, Mexico. It has been said that Catholic HEART Workcamps are the longest days of your life and the shortest weeks. This summer just flew by and we are already looking foward to 2009. Keep this week's campers in your prayers and pray for the continued success of our ministry.
