I have been talking and emailing with our VBS catechists and parish staff concerning VBS during the coronavirus crisis. Our registration was planned to start at the beginning of April, so I want to give an update.
St. Mary’s has decided to cancel our Vacation Bible School for the week of June 22-26, 2020.
The health and safety of our kids, families, volunteers, and catechists is of the utmost importance. With all the uncertainty, we think that a program involving over 300 people together in a confined space will not be wise. We are very sad and disappointed, and we know how much you all look forward to VBS! But we are confident that this is the right decision.
I will be working with our catechists and parish staff to see if an alternative style of VBS could be possible later in the year.
Let’s all continue to pray for everyone affected by the virus. We look forward to the time when we can be together to learn and praise God. I hope you and your family stay well!
Sincerely,
Judi Parker
VBS director
