(Aptos, California) – The summer season at Camp St. Francis has been filled with the joyful sounds of young people from near and far enjoying various summer camps and programs.

Enclosed, you will find two flyers detailing the upcoming Masses at Camp St. Francis for August and September 2025.

This special event is scheduled for Sunday, September 7th, beginning at 5:00 PM with the Mass, followed by dinner. Father Mel Trinidad, the Salesian Provincial, will preside at the Eucharist, and Father Joseph Paradyil, the Camp Administrator, will review the accomplishments of 2025 and share plans for 2026.
