Why I Come

We have been members of St. Camillus parish for 30 years.  Our 4 children attended St. Camillus school and were actively involved in the Search retreat program when they were teenagers.  Search was such an important part of their lives that each of them wrote about it in their college admission essays.  We have seen the parish change over the years from mostly the children and grandchildren of European immigrants to people representing every corner of the globe.  The change has not always been easy, but often there are moments of grace when we come together, and at St. Camillus we get a glimpse of what it means to be part of the Body of Christ.

This is why the Jack and Patty Kolar (pictured here with two of their children Mary and Joe) come to St. Camillus, why do you?
