Military Families

Hi Judy,
I am sorry I don't know anything about that program specifically, but we are working on some multi-church youth activites for this summer. The idea that our kids will be exposed to the Protestant misconceptions while they are sharing what we do share as Christians is always a fear. I believe if your kids are mature enough in their own Faith and you dialogue with them immediately before and after the event it can be truly good for their souls. How can we evangelize if we only spend time with devout Catholics?
Just my 2cents.
God Bless You,
KELLY

PS, where are you guys now? We are back in Southern California-Pat is at Edwards AFB. Do you have kids on the forum?

Hi Kelly,
We are still in Japan--we took a second tour so our senior could finish high school here. One more year for us. He is headed to college in the fall.
Good point about the evangelization of other youth. It is difficult, though, to judge for other families. I think our own kids would be okay. Kolbe certainly gives them a solid foundation in the Faith. The high school religious ed at the chapel here, however, is Confirmation and a mostly-social youth group. So there will be a need to beef up the chapel religious ed if we do end up with Club Beyond for youth group. Which could end up being a benefit to everyone, really. We'll see what God is doing here. Our new pastor doesn't seem to want to make any waves, so I think whatever the head chaplain decides will be what happens.
Nice that you are in CA now. Such great weather! We have no idea what is next for us. Too early yet.
Hope you are having a great summer.
Blessings,
Judy

Just wondering if there are any MacDill families out there.... There doesn't seem to be an upcoming curriculum fair with Kolbe materials but it sure would be nice to take a peek at what's in store for 3rd graders.
