Royal Family Kids Mentor Club

Each year, a group of foster children attends Royal Family Kids Camp in northern Arizona where they make new friends and are treated to a week of fun, activities, and a huge birthday celebration! They then have an opportunity to develop those friendships at the monthly RFK Mentor Club held at La Casa de Cristo. In order for us to accommodate a larger number of kids, we need volunteers who would love to make a difference in the lives of these young people.

At an upcoming training session on Saturday, August 24, 9am-12pm, in Room B, you will learn all about Mentor Club and how you can partner with this essential ministry. All volunteers are required to fill out the application at this link.

Trivia Answers from

July Cristo Connection

Where is this piece of stained glass located and who is depicted on it?

This stained glass of St. Mark is located on the north side of the Sanctuary, second from left. He is shown with his symbol, the lion. Mark, the earliest Gospel, is depicted in the book form rather than a scroll in keeping with the Gothic influence (1150-1550) on Christian art. The blue sky represents heaven as well as wisdom, charity, and hope.

What is St. Mark's symbol? The lion
