Campamento Prayers

6 Mar

One Spanish Goal of yours could be to learn the prayers they say at Campamento. They are of course in Spanish. At least learn the English versions!!

Prayers in Spanish with English translation

Mealtime Prayer
Senor, te damos gracias por el pan que nos has dado
Daselo a todos aquellos que no lo tienen
Bendice las manos que lo han preparado
Por Jesu Cristo, Nuestro Senor
Amen

And in English…
Lord, we give you thanks for the bread that you have given us.
Give it to all those who do not have it.
Bless the hands that have prepared it.
In Jesus Christ, our Lord,
Amen

Lord’s Prayer
Padre Nuestro
Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo
Santificado sea tu Nombre
Venga a nosotros tu reino
Hágase tu voluntad
En la tierra como en el cielo
Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día
Y perdona nuestras ofensas
Como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden
No nos dejes caer en la tentación
Y líbranos del mal.
Amen.

Sign of the Cross

En el Nombre del Padre, del Hijo, y del Espiritu Santo, Amen.

In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Kickoff Meeting Report – Trip Update

7 Feb

So far we are right on target with many potential travelers. We also have many past travelers and future travelers who are helping out this year! I believe all the people willing to help is a very meaningful statement to potential travelers as well as all parishioners.If you are interested in joining us, please contact me.

The next step is to decide whether you can go, and when. The three potential weeks are July 7-15, July 14-22, and/or July 21-29. It’ll be two contiguous weeks. Please let me know if/when you’ve decided and which week(s) would work for you.

Here we are at the beach (playa)!

 

Peace,

First Campamento 2012 Meeting

15 Jan

Sister Parish Mission Trip Kick-Off Meeting Monday, February 6, 7-9 PM Auditorium

The Sister Parish Committee is planning our tenth two-week long “Summer Camp” at the Hogar Teresa Toda, a girls’ home, in Azua, Dominican Republic in July 2012. We have openings from July 14 through July 22, and July 21 through July 27 for travelers interested in sharing a spiritual experience with young women and girls from another country. The format is similar to our own Vacation Bible School. We do skits, music, crafts, and other activities. We pray, exchange stories, share love, and spend time with the girls. Through the activities they learn English, enjoy crafts, and build self-esteem. Each trip is deeply touching and spiritual. Special gifts you may share are Spanish skills, crafting and beading talents, or your professional experience (esp. healthcare, tourism, retail, scientists, government, education, and other industries). At this time, the dates are subject to change. If you are interested in traveling with us this summer or helping out from Minnesota, please contact Ann McGuire, the moderator of this blog.

Note on this picture: Whenever we bring out the pucas (beads) I think of traveler “Laura”. Laura is an avid beader and loved to share her passion. Before Laura came to Campamento, one of our signature sounds was the sound of beads spilling from the table onto the floor. When Laura joined us, she unpacked the vast collection of beads she brought but made us all wait on the beads until we gathered towels. She put the towels on the tables so that the beads wouldn’t spill. This genius move has virtually eliminated that sound and mess of spilling beads for Campamento!

Please share this post if you know another person who might be interested. Everyone has gifts to share!

Peace,

Ann
