Liturgiae Camp

The Catholic Camp for Dads, Spiritual Fathers, and Sons


When dads attend weekly Mass, the family spiritually thrives. So why do so few Catholic men fully embrace their spiritual responsibilities?

Could it be that men struggle to prioritize what they do not fully understand?

Did you know that the Catholic (Universal) Church is comprised of 24 sui iuris Churches and 23 rites, all in full union with the Holy Father?

Liturgy is the public praise and worship of God, and its source and summit is the celebration of the Eucharist. Public worship outside of Mass also takes place in various forms, such as the Liturgy of the Hours.
But when does devotional prayer and private devotion take place—and how does this differ from liturgy?

Liturgiae seeks to address these questions through prayer, study, and lived experience.

 

Who Should Attend

  • Men who seek to grow in knowledge and love of the Catholic faith, and who desire to lead the Domestic Church—the family—through full, conscious, and active participation.

  • Boys who want to grow in understanding of liturgy and Church life.

  • Godfathers, grandfathers, uncles, and all men who serve as spiritual fathers, mentors, coaches, and friends within the Domestic Church and parish communities.
