history

Our family, together with young adults, were privileged by God’s grace to have served many at
CATHOLICLAND.com for over 15 yrs. with a focus on a children's camp, Youth Retreats and
Catholic Family Weekends; serving GTA & beyond.

Fun, games, music, campfires and a great show of talent is what we enjoyed. 'Test Your Faith' &
'Movies with Morals' were among unique features that we initiated and promoted.

It was difficult to move on, but did so, as our children were now older & eager to test their wings.
Now that our 'children' have left home to answer their call; study, work and one for the seminary,
for the Peterborough Diocese, we decided to move closer to Toronto and re-establish a similar
Catholic environment for Faith, Fun and Fellowship for families, youth and young adults.

We 'exchanged' our 40 acres near Barrie, ON (100 kms from Toronto) and our 360 acres in
Kirkfield for 75 + 5 acres near Newmarket (50 kms north of Toronto). 4000 ft on Canal Lake and
a creek for a REAL river and grounded cabins for flotillas/house boats.

We would like you to be a part of our vision, mission and success. Join us in Faith, Fun &
Fellowship. Pray for us, Participate and Promote our Mission.

At the present, this place needs a lot of work done,... perhaps an opportunity for you to get
involved. If you are between 18 to 36 yrs. or retired & are able to volunteer and would like to
spend; hours, days or months with us, then come & 'Volunteer'.

Together and by God's grace, we can make it happen.

Please:
1. Pray for us as we set our nets into the deep.
2. Pledge your support; Physically &/or financially; sponsor a houseboat.
3. Participate: Join us for a day; weekend, week, month, season or year-round.
4. Promote us to / through your parish groups, family and friends.

Pictures of our past will soon be added on our album.

Thanks once again and God Bless you all. The Carvalhos.
