Capuchin Appalachian Mission-A Reflection by Ross Chamberland, O.F.M. Cap.
It was my privilege to participate in this year's Capuchin Appalachian Mission trip to Harlan County, Kentucky. We departed Garrison with almost 75 people, the vast majority being youth. I was amazed to witness a deeply committed Christian community develop in a matter of hours. Most of these young people did not know each other, but what did bind them together was a shared Catholic faith. What I began to realize was, when this faith is the common denominator among a large group, it becomes the foundation on which relationships are built. The C.A.M. community mirrored for me, and for all those we encountered, the living body of Christ.

Outreach Ministry
Summer of 2009 Programs Sponsored by
Capuchin Youth & Family Ministry
Every summer Capuchin Youth and Family Ministries sponsors two service programs—the Capuchin Outreach Program [COP] and the Capuchin Appalachian Mission [CAM].
This year COP drew its largest crowd ever. We had 50 participants including teens from the Capuchin ministries of Children's Village - Dobbs Ferry, New York and the Capuchin parishes of Saint Pius X - Middletown, Saint Joseph of the Worker - East Patchogue, and Saint Joseph - New Paltz. We had the opportunity of serving at nine different worksites doing everything from manual labor to serving the homeless; and from teaching children to visiting the sick and elderly. Read more.
