January 2023 brought more than just the New Year to the Sisters, it brought a new venue for Morning Star Camp! Five Sisters traveled to Tyler, Texas, from January 27–February 4 for a 5-day Morning Star Day Camp! Usually our “Mini Camps” begin relatively small – but everything is bigger in Texas! The Tyler Camp started with no less than 100 happy campers!
Unfortunately cold, icy weather came to visit Texas that same week, making outdoor activities difficult. But Morning Star is more about the program than the place, so campers easily adapted to the close quarters provided by the Veritatis Splendor Lodge – and still had a blast! On the first day, we had a special visit from Bishop Strickland of the Tyler Diocese, who made the trek to see the camp and give the Sisters and campers his blessing! What an incredible way to begin!
The week was a variety of MSC activities ranging from Catechism, Art, Music, games and so much more. Now there are 100 more campers singing the theme song and joining the ranks of young ladies across the country who love Morning Star! We can’t wait to see them all again next year!
The Sisters would like to especially thank Melissa K. and all the moms who pitched in to make this possible and our host family Jose and Alicia E., for their gracious hospitality. May God reward you all!
