July 6 – 10, 2026
9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Saint Kateri Parish Center & Outdoor Spaces
Pack your boots and grab your compass! Saint Kateri VBS is heading North! Jesus is our true north and during this VBS kids will be provided with a rock-solid foundation by pointing them to Jesus.
This year’s VBS introduces a lot of “wild” friends along our adventure!
We will meet, Ponder the Sea Otter who teaches us to trust Jesus when we wonder. Clawdia the King Crab teaches us to trust Jesus when we feel alone. Kody the Bear shows us that when we feel powerless that Jesus is there walking with us. Earnest the Bald Eagle tells us that when we feel hopeless or need help, feeling lost that we can trust Jesus. Last but not least is Bruce the Moose! Bruce teaches us that when we need help, we can trust Jesus, “I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)

We can’t wait to travel north with YOU this summer!
VBS 2025 – This years theme was Road Trip, “The Lord your God is with you wherever you go” Joshua 1:9. Each day the campers explored Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments including; Genesis, Exodus, Acts of the Apostles, and the Gospel of Luke. These stories told us about Abraham and Sarah, Israelites, Mary and Elizabeth, Zacchaeus, and Paul giving us examples of faith and showing us times where God is with us on the journey, when we go off course, times of joy and sorrow, He is is with us near or far. Thank you to all the volunteers for helping make our VBS a HUGE success!!
VBS 2024 – We had 79 campers ranging from PreK-5th Grade this summer along with 37 Teen Helpers!! This years theme was Come to the Table. Each day the campers explored stories about Jesus from the Gospels of Luke and John. These stories showed Jesus eating with unexpected people, providing food, demonstrating humility and extending welcome and forgiveness. Thank you to all the volunteers for helping make our VBS a HUGE success!!
VBS 2023 was a HUGE success! Thank you to all the volunteers that made this years camp possible! We successfully sailed the seas with Saint Patrick and grew in our knowledge of The Holy Trinity! Looking forward to our Faith Formation Sessions starting in September and growing more in Christ!
