With a combination of Faith, fun, and friendship, the SVC offers a formative and enjoyable summer activity. The day includes sports, crafts, virtue talks, chances for confession and mentoring with a priest or young adult. The boys and girls have separate tracks that allow them to get the most out of each activity. Both tracks come together to end each day in the celebration of the Mass which families are encouraged to attend.
