Since 1990, WorkCamp has been venturing into various areas of Virginia with a twofold objective. First, we seek to provide the teens of our Diocese with an intense conversion experience through service, community, and prayer. Second, we seek to serve our fellow Virginians by making their homes warmer, safer, and drier.
For one week in June, up to 800 teens from Arlington Diocese parishes will share a week of prayer, service, song, adoration, confession, and fellowship.
Up to 160 crews of 5 teens, 1 or 2 adult crew leaders, and a contractor will venture out more than 100 residences to make fellow Virginians homes warmer, safer, and drier. These teens will spend a large part of their week getting to know teens from other parishes along with adults who will model their Catholic faith throughout the week. In the evenings, inspiring talks, songs, games, and opportunities for confession and adoration will give this group of teens the opportunity to encounter Jesus Christ. Each day, the teens and their crew will experience direct service by meeting the needs of those less fortunate right here within the boundaries of our Diocese.
They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers… all who believed were together and had all things in common … they ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart, praising God and enjoying favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
