Recommended: How religion influences life

CYC has greatly impacted me as both a camper and counselor. The camp has been a great place for me to grow in my faith, and make life-long friendships. Many things help camp run smoothly, including summer staff. The summer staff is essential to running camp, and I would like the opportunity to be a staff member. I want to help camp run, and help counselors and campers experience their faith more fully. I believe I have a strong relationship with Jesus. Daily prayer is an essential aspect to any strong relationship with Christ. I try to pray at least 2 or 3 times a day. I enjoy praying the rosary and try to at least twice a week.

My parents separated and many issues stemmed from this. With family issues occurring I turned to my relationship with god and the support of the Catholic Church. This has strengthened my relationship God enormously. It is important to have not only a relationship with God but also the church to fall back on during tough times. Catholicism plays a major role in my life. I have always been very involved with the church. When I was younger I was an altar server, and was enrolled in religious education classes. When I entered high school, I joined the teen youth group. This was an amazing experience. We went on mission trips and worked with the handicapped. The teen youth group helped me grow in my faith during my teen years. In college, I continued to go to mass at the local Newman Center on campus. Catholic Youth Camp has by far had the most impact in my religious life. It is an experience that has shaped my faith life in a positive way, and will always be an important aspect of my faith life. I love volunteering and working for the Catholic Church and value the experiences it has brought me. Maintaining a strong catholic faith and a relationship with god affect your decisions on a daily basis. I make responsible decisions, and surround myself with

Knowing all I do about the history of Catholicism I can understand what is being talked about in church and in CCD class. I can now contribute to discussions on religious topics in my CCD class freshman year and the years before that I would not know anything about religion and would sit there not paying attention. But, I finally understand and know about it so I am very intrigued by some of the things people have to say because I can reply to them and not just sit there and take it in but I can contribute to what they have to say. Another thing learning about history has done for me is it has inspired me to take part in religious gatherings because I find it enjoyable to become closer to God and to learn even more about my religion and faith.

    I first learned to be a Christian from my parents. They took me to Sunday School and “preaching” on Sunday mornings when I was young. They made sure I was involved in the youth group and children’s and youth choirs while growing up. They taught me to say a blessing before every meal, and they laugh when I still occasionally break into our traditional “God is great, God is good . . .” version of grace I learned as a child. My parents were also the ones who taught me to ask for God’s help when I am in need of something or worried about an issue as well as to give God praise for all of the blessings in my life. My grandparents also helped further my Christian education. My Grandmother Hall made an impact on my understanding of church because she was very opinionated about what her preacher should and should not be preaching about from the pulpit. Her opinions caused me to think about what I believed in and why I believed that way. My family was very important to my upbringing in the church.

  • Why is Religion Important?

    443 Words  | 1 Pages

    In today's world, there are many different ways to get involved in religion; various methods have attracted groups of all ages and races. One popular association is FCA or Fellowship of Christian Athletes. This particular group has helped me to find Christ in my own life. There are a lot of unconventional activities to help the younger generations get involved. Some of these activities included Death Week, which focused on death and pain, meetings about family and divorce, lectures to help people reach for their goals, and encouragement speakers. There is a great deal of fun incorporated into all the seriousness, though. We went on ski trips, did missionary work, and put on skits. All of these activities involved Christ in some way, and helped the younger generation to realize that being spiritual was not 'uncool.'; When I attended the FCA meetings, it was the one time that I actually felt free from all my problems. FCA helped me to find my spiritual self and gave me a sense of completion.
