Retreat Team

[ back to directory of organizations ]

Our mission is to guide the spiritual growth and development of the younger members of our Church community in accordance with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. It is our goal, that this be done in a respectful, compassionate, loving and understanding manner - realizing that humor is also a gift from God. We accept this responsibility of leadership with gratitude and humility. In the preparation and giving of these retreat experiences, we hope to remain open to the gifts of knowledge, wisdom, new perspective, friendship, and personal growth.

The Retreat Team is comprised of advisors and Confirmed young adults of our parish family. Our peer-ministered team plans, coordinates, and gives at least 3 retreats a year: Confirmation, 10th Grade Day of Reflection and 9th Grade Day of Reflection. We have also had the pleasure and opportunity to do some retreats outside of our parish when our schedules allow.

Our team meets on a regular basis from August thru April and we are always looking for and open to new ideas and suggestions to improve our ministry.

In November of each year, we welcome our new Confirmands to join our group and look forward to their thoughts and ideas.
