Mother of Hope Camp blessings

Posted

Bishop Thomas J. Tobin visited Mother of Hope Camp on Monday, July 30, to dedicate the camp’s new amphitheater, completed prior to the start of this summer. The diocesan camp, located on Echo Lake, hosts retreats and events and offers a day camp for children ages 5 - 12 during the summer months. The amphitheater, along with other improvements around the camp, were made possible by a grant from the Champlin Foundation and will be used for performances, camp gatherings and to celebrate Mass.

Campers and staff joined Bishop Tobin for the blessing of the new amphitheater. “God is present here with us,” he told the campers. “Let’s thank him for all his gifts and blessings and pray that God will bless this amphitheater and all those who will come here in the days to come.”
