Conquest

crucedesign — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 14:56:43 +0000

Conquest is based on Catholic principles of spiritual development. Its programs are designed to instill virtue, develop character and encourage spiritual growth,while offering its participants challenging physical, intellectual and spiritual activities within an atmosphere of adventure.Recognizing the obstacles and false ideas that youth encounter in today’s culture, Conquest empowers boys to face and overcome these difficulties rather than ignore and succumb to them. Conquest organizes exciting adventures and challenges; through these experiences boys learn that human and spiritual development can go hand-in-hand with many of their favorite activities.

Conquest, through its athletic, educational and creative programs, provides a wholesome atmosphere in which boys naturally develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, their brother and friend. This bond will awaken in each boy a desire to serve as His apostle; it will motivate him to serve Church, home, community and school. In short, the program is designed to produce mature young men who live their Catholic life authentically.

Conquest accomplishes its mission through a network of year-round clubs and summer camps directed by Catholic leaders who are committed to the highest Christian ideals. In order to aid the family in guiding a young boy through the process of becoming a mature young man, Conquest utilizes a pedagogy specifically designed to provide an integral human and spiritual formation. All activities promote friendship, fun and formation in a wholesome, structured and challenging environment.

Annual Operational Campaign

Dear Friend of Acadian Oaks,

“Upon our children—how they are taught—rests the fate—or fortune—of tomorrow’s world!” We

need your help today for the future of tomorrow! Acadian Oaks is asking you to help secure our

operational funds for 2011 to allow us to continue providing our current services. Now more than ever,

our children need this fun and safe environment to grow in faith, and this great escape to reinforce our

familial and religious values while growing into real leaders. Please participate with us in this great

mission!

The Acadian Oaks Team is dedicated to our mission….to provide a high-quality, attractive setting

for Catholic retreats, programs, and events that are designed to help young people mature in their

friendship with Christ, forge their Christian character and grow in love for their Catholic faith. Over

the past year, Acadian Oaks has structured itself to move forward, began implementing a new system

to better communicate with our supporters and community. We have drawn plans for phase I, and

continue to gain the capital commitment we need to begin building.

However, we cannot break ground until our operational expenses are covered. We are asking you

to commit to our annual operational campaign through a monthly or one-time donation that is right

for you and your family. We have already met ¼ of our goal and need to secure the remainder of our

annual expenses by April. Please prayerfully consider supporting Acadian Oaks through a monetary gift,

and sharing our needs with your friends. Help us continue to provide our youth with a solid foundation

for youth retreats, campouts, and leadership training centered in Christ. During these often chaotic

times, it is vital that we continue to uplift our children’s spirits, and show them hope, faith, and love

through Christ. They need our constant guidance and reinforcement. Click here for a pledge form for your use as you consider keeping the fire in our children growing strong by supporting the mission of Acadian Oaks. If you would like to make a paypal donation please click here.

On behalf of our children and the Acadian Oaks family, we thank you in advance for support in providing

this opportunity to our Louisiana Children and communities! Thank you for living your faith and for

giving every child of God a chance! Thank you for your commitment to helping their success as they

grow in Christ!

Sincerely,

Acadian Oaks Board of Directors
