[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always wondered about this so I hope no one minds if I ask it here in this anonymous forum. :)  Is VBS a predominantly Protestant "thing"?  I am Catholic and grew up going to Catholic schools but never remember having VBS, but I now hear it when other moms mention it or in forums (fora?) like this.  Thanks!  It's just something I wondered about!  Or, maybe other Catholic parishes/schools do have VBS and I am just out of it!!!!  ;) [/quote]

Hi!   I'm also Catholic and never heard of Vacation Bible School growing up (mostly in Massachusetts) either.   As a teen, and for most of my early adulthood I lived in California, and that's where I first heard of it/saw signs on Protestant churches.   About 6 years ago we moved here to Northern VA, and I've noticed in the past few years the local Catholic churches getting into it as well...I know a lot of Catholic families were sending their kids to the Protestant VBS, so I guess the Catholic churches felt they better get on it too! :)

My son will be attending our Catholic parish's VBS for the first time this summer, but it's our parish's 3rd summer offering it (I think?)[/quote]
