Summer Conferences
Faith, Community, and Fun in the Summer Sun
Growing as disciples of Christ at Regis St. Mary continues when the summer begins. There are a number of opportunities for students to continue to grow in their faith.
Vacation Bible School
Each June our younger Rams have the opportunity to attend Vacation Bible School hosted by the Santiam Vicariate parishes. Our high school students are encouraged to assist as volunteers at this wonderful week of learning each year.
Steubenville Northwest Youth Conference
During July we partner with the parishes of the Santiam Vicariate to take students to the Steubenville Northwest Youth Conference for five days in Spokane, Washington. Part of this includes a visit to Silverwood Theme Park. Steubenville Northwest is open to rising freshmen through graduating seniors. Each summer nearly, 50% of the student body from Regis High School participates in this trip.
