Holy Redeemer Vacation Bible School 2025: "Detective Academy 2: Marvelous Miracles"

Calling all young detectives! Get ready for an unforgettable adventure to discover the wonderful beautiful and amazing truths of our Catholic faith at Holy Redeemer's Vacation Bible School 2025: "Detective Academy2: Marvelous Miracles." Our favorite junior detectives Indi Anna Jones, Dora the Explo..errr… Detective, Sir Lockedin Holmes and his faithful companion, Doctor Whatson, return to lead us through the Marvelous Miracles of Jesus.

This year’s Vacation Bible School follows the spirit of the Jubilee Year proclaimed by our late Holy Father, Pope Francis, of happy memory, and its anchor verse “Hope does not disappoint” (Rom 5:5). Our junior detectives will sift through the Marvelous Miracles of the “Feeding of the Five Thousand,” “The Healing at the Pool of Bethesda,” “Raising of Jairus’ daughter” and most of all, “The Resurrection of Jesus” to see how they point to the hope that we have in Jesus; a hope that does not disappoint. 

There’ll be songs, skits, games, and all that Holy Spirit-filled awesomeness that you can expect at every Holy Redeemer event. VBS25 is open to all kids from K thru 8th grade, whether or not they are Holy Redeemer parishioners. Plus, it's 100% FREE. It's the perfect opportunity for kids to have fun, and deepen their faith.

This is an opportunity you won’t want to miss! Get ready for a week filled with adventure, faith, and fun. Sign up now and invite all the kids you know for VBS2025: "Detective Academy: Marvelous Miracles."
We can't wait to see you there!

VBS WEEKS 1 & 2

Holy Redeemer’s VBS comes in two phases: the first is Captains Week, when incoming 6th through 8th Graders receive training and formation to help lead the younger kids during the second phase the following week.

• Captains Week for incoming 6th-8th Graders runs 1-4pm daily from Monday, June 16 - Thursday June 19 with an overnight retreat from 4pm Thursday to Friday morning.

• VBS Main week for kids K-5th (led by Middle School Captains, High School and Adult Volunteers) will be from from Monday, June 23 to Thursday, June 26 also from 1-4pm.
  That last day ends a little later, though, at 5pm because of the closing party.

VBS REGISTRATION

Like last year, we will be implementing a strict pre-registration policy to help us prepare well
and make sure that there are enough volunteers to keep all the kids safe
and able to make the most of that Vacation Bible School fun and faith.

Though registration will run through the weekend before, you’ll want to sign your kids up by Wednesday, June 4th, to ensure that they get their free "Detective Academy" shirt! After that date, we can’t promise that your kids will get a shirt (nor the right size) but we will try our best. Furthermore, we are only able to take a maximum of 20 kids for each of our  rotation groups. So sign your kids up ASAP by registering online here or by dropping off a paper form at the parish office. Your registration is confirmed once you receive an official VBS24 Welcome email.
