Catholic Academy for Life Leadership (CALL) East Valley

St. Timothy is proud to begin hosting the Catholic Academy for Life Leadership - East Valley beginning in September 2018!

C.A.L.L. East Valley will mirror the C.A.L.L. program of the Diocese of Phoenix, but operates independently in terms of registration. Teens are welcome to register now for the 2018-19 seminar year. C.A.L.L. East Valley is a multi-parish effort and involves youth ministry leaders from several other locations. While it is operated through St. Timothy's, teens from every parish are encouraged to participate in the C.A.L.L. program!

For more information on what the C.A.L.L. program is, please refer to the Diocesan website HERE. C.A.L.L. East Valley & C.A.L.L. Central operate the same program & curriculum, some aspects, such as registration, logistics, and communication, are unique to each location.
