Junior High Retreat
April 26-28
The Junior High Retreat is a time to let youth 5th - 9th grade "retreat" from "busy" and awaken to a spiritual journey. This fun spiritual, relaxing weekend gives us all time to reflect on the important relationships in our lives....including the one with God! Asking questions and finding our own answers is part of the process to help us lead a more authentic life. And, since relationships continually change, it is good for young people to attend several retreat weekends; there is no limit to the number of weekends a 6th-9th grader can attend. Short talks are given on self, friends, siblings, parents, school, love, prayer, Jesus and the Church...that makes for good discussion. To help us plan, please register by April 15.
Additional information can be found on the diocesan website.
