Come join in Ave Maria's second Treasures of the Catholic Church Camp featuring "The Lord of the Rings" held at Donahue Academy and the Ave Maria Church.

 

The week's theme is based on the trilogy of J.R.R Tolkien’s, “The Lord of the Rings” which Tolkien called “a fundamentally Catholic and religious work.” A mystical tale of good’s struggle and triumph over evil. Tolkien’s unwavering Catholic faith is woven throughout the story, making it a fantastical illustration of Catholic teachings. 

 

The scenes, characters, symbols, and themes come alive as a result of Tolkien “sowing the seeds” from the treasures of the Catholic Church, and then bloom into the Catholic Faith’s most sacred message: to love The One (God) that guides people and to look further, beyond “self love” to “love of neighbor.” Only then can the One Ring (representing sin) be destroyed, and when that quest is achieved, a final adventure awaits the soul: reunion with The One. 

 

The week’s exciting adventure will be focused on the quest to destroy the One Ring through talks/trivia, Sacred art, Sacred music, woodworking, and plenty of sports competition to complete the task. Each day’s journey will bring campers deeper into the Church’s treasures and create a new appreciation of their Faith.
