This is a combined ministry of St. Andrew and St. Elizabeth Seton Parish. Its purpose is to provide for a fun, educational faith experience for the youth of both parishes.

The VBS Committee meets once a month from January through June.
Participation as a "program area" chairperson requires additional time to plan the programming for each respective area of the week long program.
TRAINING & SUPPORT PLAN:
Materials are provided by the company which produces the
VBS program, augmented by the pastor and the catechetical leader of each parish.
QUALIFICATIONS NEEDED:
Volunteers need a desire to work with children and a love of the young. They also should have an understanding of and willingness to share their faith with the participants.
TENURE/LENGTH OF ASSIGNMENT:
As long as the VBS volunteer is willing to serve.
