LARI Update: 4 Louisiana Youths at ECC Garners Thanks from Bishop Thompson

This summer the Companion Diocese Committee launched a program to bring youths from the Diocese of Louisiana up to our own summer camp at the Episcopal Conference Center. Through your generosity enough funds were raised to bring four young people to ECC on full scholarship!

The experience proved to be as remarkable for these young Louisianians as it was for the youths of RI who had a chance to meet them and hear their stories. The program was such a success that Mary Ann Kolakowski, our Christian Formation Director, received a letter from Louisiana's Bishop, The Rt. Rev'd Morris K. Thompson Jr., thanking us all for our generosity in this companionship. You can read the letter below.

There are exciting plans in the works for next year, including bringing some young adults to camp as counsellors as well as bringing more youths up to attend camp. To find out more or learn how to contribute for next year contact maryann@episcopalri.org
