Annual Family, Liturgy & Life Camp

From August 3–8, 2025, over 120 participants from across the Eparchy of Parma gathered at Cedar Lake Ministries in Cedar Lake, Indiana for the 4th Annual Family, Liturgy, and Life Camp. This year’s theme, “Liturgy is Life—Celebrating 30 Years of Orientale Lumen,” honored the legacy of St. John Paul II’s landmark document, Orientale Lumen (Light of the East), which extolled the value of Eastern Christian spirituality and called the whole Catholic Church to a deeper awareness and appreciation for the Eastern Churches.  

The camp’s unique charism continues to support families who are heroically embracing the model of intact marriage and family according to the mind of the Church. Through age-appropriate presentations and immersive liturgical experiences, participants explored how the Byzantine Liturgical tradition offers a blueprint for Marriage, Family, and indeed all of life itself.  

Looking ahead, the 2026 Family, Liturgy, and Life Camp will return to Cedar Lake Ministries from Sunday, August 9 to Friday, August 14, continuing its mission to nurture and inspire families in their spiritual journey.
