Catholic Heart Work Camp is a unique experience that gives teens the opportunity to see the need for mission trips in this country. This camp helps them understand that a mission trip is not only about going to another country, but also the people right in our backyard need help as well. Teens are placed in work teams of 8-10 teens from all over the country. Catholic Heart is another chance to see the universality of the Catholic Church.
