VBS 2026

Hero Academy VBS:
Serving Like the Saints 2026
Monday, June 22 – Friday, June 26

Inspired by the lives of saints like Francis and Martin of Tours and Therese and Catherine, St. John’s Hero Academy VBS invites children to consider how following Jesus’ call to love and serve others is the most heroic thing of all. Children will create projects in the Hero Maker Design Studio, play high-energy games in the Gamer’s Gauntlet, hear stories of the faithful in the Hero Archives, and relax with a treat or two and the Holy Hero Cafe. All the while, they will discover that we can indeed serve like the saints!

Who?
All children 4 years old (and potty-trained) – 4th graders, both St. John’s members and non-members alike, are invited to join us for this awesome week at St. John’s.
