CHWC 2010 Theme

When we choose to follow Christ and respond to the call of service

to others …. We choose a Life with a new Rhythm! The world

invites us to rush through life, to keep going, to get ahead and

achieve for ourselves. Yes, we should achieve, but this is the

beat of the world. God invites us to be a part of His rhythm,

to walk at His pace, to stop and look at the world around us

and to be a part of a Cadence of change!

Sure we can have high goals, but within the motion of life

we must look at the needs in our world where suffering,

loneliness, hunger, poverty, and injustice are real! God has

been calling an army of young people to serve through

Catholic Heart Workcamp. When we come together as the

body of Christ we are in harmony with one another and

with our God who calls us to choose a life with a new rhythm!

NCYC 2009: Kansas City

Busy. Busy. Busy.

We are hard at work finalizing the 2010 dates. We already have so many for next summer camps are filling up. God is Good! The new postcard is in the mail now. Here is what it looks like.

All the merchandise orders have been filled and are in the mail, so be on the lookout. We are hard at work on sharing all the summary videos online so be on the look out for a way to view them.

CHWC Going Green

Catholic HEART Workcamp is doing all it can this year to be green. We have opted to use paper products where possible, and we are recycling plastic and cardboard in all of our kitchens. We understand that preserving our environment is a way of preserving God's creation and We are doing our part to do so.

Love Repeated

Campers all over the country have been Love Repeated to hundreds of residents in 20 communties in the month of June. As the new staffs take over in July we want to focus on our theme Love Repeated. Love Repeated means taking the love that we are shown by our families and friends and duplicateing that love to those all we come in contact with. So far in 2009 we have had 5000 campers take that love and show it to all they have come in contact with, it truely has been something special. As we embark on the second half of the summer, we hope that the love that has happened already will not only serve as an example to those who follow, but contine to grow and spread to the commmunites that campers return to. Here is the theme song performed by the person who wrote it Jon Niven, in Charlotte, NC.

We pray for safe travels and that everyone will find a way to repeat the love they have received.

Week 2 CHWC

Week 2 of Catholic HEART Workcamp 2009 is complete. Mishawaka, Virginia Beach, Toledo, Omaha and Jamaica(1) took place this week. It was another great week of love being repeated over and over again throughout these communities. Below is a video of Popple performing Days of Elijah during Monday night's program.
