The TFP hosted another Call to Chivalry weekend for boys: Rediscovering Medieval Treasures. The weekend started on Friday, Nov. 13 with a father/son pizza dinner followed by a rosary.
The annual Call to Chivalry summer camp was held again at the St. Louis de Montfort Academy in Herndon, Pennsylvania from August 10-20. The program was attended by dozens of young men from many different states.
From June 30 to July 9, 2009, TFP Student Action co-sponsored the ninth annual Louisiana Call to Chivalry Summer Camp. The theme this year was the Cristero martyrs of Mexico, in particular Blessed José Sanchez del Rio and Blessed Miguel Pro.
The words echoed across the Pennsylvania hills as the boys shouted enthusiastically: "It is better to be an eagle for a minute then a toad for a lifetime."
It sounded like a crowd at a stadium as the cheering filtered through the Louisiana woods. It was not, however, a normal sporting event. Rather it was the closing “medieval games” at a Call to Chivalry camp where two teams of boys were pitted against each other in feats of prowess and heroism while parents looked on. The intense cheering came both from boys and parents as they encouraged those competing.
