Hostyn, Plum Youth Attend Catholic Heart Work Camp in North Carolina

Seventeen teens and six adult chaperones from the Hostyn and Plum Catholic churches attended the Catholic Heart Work Camp service week in Morganton, North Carolina June 11-17. The group included the priest of both parishes, Father Felix Twumasi. Above is the group after landing at the Charlotte airport. Below are some images of the work the locals did during the week, including painting, cleaning tombstones and removing mold. The kids spent the week staying at the North Carolina School for the Deaf campus in Morganton, where they also attended daily morning Mass and evening worship programs. About 150 people from around the country were part of the work camp. They worked at needed areas throughout the community every morning and afternoon – at homes of the elderly and disabled, churches and outreach centers.
