2010 Camp Tepeyac, Week 11 (Life Teen), Day 3
Day 3 of Life Teen at Camp Tepeyac was a spiritually and physically challenging one for teen campers. The day was filled with high ropes courses, team building skills climbing a high wall, and elimination paintball. The ropes course was a challenge for some camp-goers as they let go of fears and the "I can't" mentality. Every teen came out on top with cheers and encouragement from peers and staff members. The day was ended with a beautiful evening Mass and staff prayer stations that students could go and be prayed over at.

Tips for Journaling about Your Future Vocation
There’s a lot of pressure when you’re young to know what you will do with the rest of your life. People are always asking what you want to do when you grow up.

For People Who Can’t Stand the Rosary
If you can’t stand the rosary, this article is for you. Pope John Paul II loved praying the rosary, and that was a problem for me. I admired the pope’s wisdom, but I was an eighteen-year-old college freshman who couldn’t stand praying the rosary. Don’t get me wrong, I loved being Catholic, but the rosary seemed like the least appealing way to pray. How many of you reading this now feel the same way? But since I was a freshman in college, I’ve prayed the rosary off and on again even though I didn’t like it. And through those years, [...]

Ask Fr. J – How do I start a prayer meeting?
Q: Eleven kids from church also attend my high school. We are thinking of starting a daily prayer meeting. We’re not sure what we should be doing. Any words of wisdom?
A: Man, that is so cool! From what I have seen at schools where prayer groups of Bible studies have been formed there is always a growth in the presence of the Holy Spirit that flows all over the school campus. If you and your friends truly feel called to do this…go for it!
