College COP

November 1, 2007

Dear College COP 2008 Applicant,

Greetings from Garrison! We invite you to join us for College COP (Capuchin Outreach Project) at Capuchin Youth & Family Ministries during the second week of January. College COP gathers college students the opportunity during their winter break to live in Christian Community and to go out in service to the poor and sick of communities in the Hudson Valley.

The College COP community lives at our youth and family ministry center during the experience. Together we commit ourselves to live in Christian Community, to Daily Prayer, including the celebration of Eucharist, to Gospel Service, to experience Franciscan spirituality, and develop new friendships. Nourished in this way, we go out in Service at places like Wingate Senior Residence, Rosary Hill Cancer Hospital, and Habitat for Humanity. Back at the center, we share our meals, reflect on the day’s experience in Theological Reflection groups, and relax and recreate together.

College COP takes place from 4:00pm Monday, January 7th to 5:30pm Friday, January 11th, 2008. The cost, $115.00 per participant, covers food, lodging, transportation, and all necessary supplies.
If you have any questions call us at (845) 424-3609 x 224, or send an e-mail to Mary@cyfm.org. Our
application deadline is December 7th.

In an effort to keep the registration fee down, we require all participants to take part in our Companions in Service program. This is a very simple fundraiser in which each participant sends a minimum of 10 sponsor letters to family, friends, or organizations. These letters invite those on your list to join us as Companions in Serviceby praying for us and making a financial contribution. We’ll supply you with an electronic version of a letter that you can personalize. Simply send them out to 10 people or organizations and send us just the names so we can let you know who has supported you!

Remember, the completed Application, and a non-refundable deposit of $60.00 per applicant must be received in our office by December 7, 2007. This year we have several more universities and colleges joining us and anticipate space filling quickly.

Note that we ask for school and Christmas vacation addresses and phone numbers. **If there is financial difficulty, please contact us directly. No one is ever turned away solely on the grounds of finances.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Mary T. Naccarato
Associate Director
