Our Diocese is unique in that it offers resources for the parishes and catholic schools locally.
The Diocese of Providence offers two youth centers,
Father Marot CYO Center in Woonsocket and the Rejoice in Hope Youth Center in Cranston.
Mother of Hope Camp in Chepachet and St. John Bosco Chapel at
Camp Yawgoog Scout Reservation are also Diocesan Facilities.
All facilities (including camp) are available to every parish in the Diocese of Providence.
Rejoice in Hope Youth Center & Father Marot CYO Center serve to assist parishes in the Diocese in fostering and promoting the ideals and principles embodied in the social mission of the Church while ensuring the Christ-like formation of youth and young adults and the development of their leadership potential. Each Center provides programs and activities, including prayer meetings, drop-in nights, retreats, & more!
Mother of Hope Camp
For more than 70 years, thousands of children have experienced camp as a vibrant faith community through a fun-filled week in a safe and supportive setting. Kids have a great time learning new skills, making new friends, and enjoying all that summer offers. Mother of Hope Camp (MOH) welcomes children of all backgrounds and religions.
The Mother of Hope Camp also offers Challenge Course programs and retreats to foster team building within groups.
