Christian Awakening Retreat

A special diocesan peer-ministered retreat for 11^th and 12^th graders!  The youth of this retreat community come to know and experience Christ, and to see him in themselves and others.  They’re invited to look at ways of serving others and becoming better, more fully committed Christians.

Discovery Retreat

A special diocesan peer-ministered retreat for 9^th and 10^th graders!  It deals with discovering one’s identity and that of the Lord through:  talks, small group interaction and community-building experiences.  It is based on the steps of evangelization and helps the young person know Jesus in faith!

Antioch Retreat

“It was at Antioch that believers were first called Christians.” (Acts 11:26).  Antioch is a parish based retreat program also led by peer ministers.  Antioch is most appropriate for 11^th and 12^th graders.  It offers teens an encounter with Jesus and an experience of His church within their own culture.  Because this is a parish based ministry, there is the valuable ingredient of continuity with all of the attendant opportunities for growth in Christian community, ongoing peer ministry, and assimilation of their treasured gifts into the whole parish faith community.
