LAMP Ministries
Information & Mission Statement
- LAMPLIGHTERS,
which is a club for children and teens, was
founded one year after LAMP began. Its purpose
is two-fold: to reinforce the Catholic faith of
the young, and to help them develop love and
compassion, the Good News of Jesus' own love,
for the suffering poor. LAMPLIGHTERS gives young
people the experience of living their faith and
sharing in with those in need in the context of
mutual affirmation and having fun. Currently,
there are several branches of LAMPLIGHTERS in
existence.
- LAMP also
founded and maintains an affiliation with an
outreach in northern Appalachia, in the city of
Steubenville, Ohio, and has begun in other parts
of the country as well.
- Community
support is fostered among the LAMP Missionaries
through weekly gatherings where they share,
pray, and reflect on Scripture together. Room
and board, medical insurance, and a monthly
stipend of $200 are provided for each LAMP
Missionary.
