An outdoor Mass is celebrated at Circle “V” Camp in the Figueroa Mountains by our brother Fr. Peter Banks OFM Cap. Children from the inner city come for a week of spiritual and country experience. Counselors and supporters are present for guidance, sharing and love.

Circle “V” Ranch Camp was founded in 1945 by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Council of Los Angeles. Its mission is to serve children, youth and families from Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties by providing innovative and enriching outdoor experiences that build self-esteem and expand knowledge and appreciation of others, nature and God.
