Each event is prayed about specifically in the planning and the actual implementation. We always want it to be God. It is He that knows every heart and need. So every event, though we may use the same general formats for certain types of retreats, each one is always a little bit different or if God so chooses it will be, a lot different. (back) | |||||
Confirmation Retreats |
Unless otherwise changed through prayer, it is our goal to use this retreat to bring confirmation candidates from "Having to get confirmed" to wanting to get confirmed. It is no secret that many students just go through the process of confirmation with out truly entering in to a true relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ. Through this retreat we stress a person's free will choice, their unique value and purpose in our Lord's eyes, and how this is revealed only through a true personal relationship with Our Lord in the sacraments of the Catholic Church as well as the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Speaking to parents and sponsors |
Unless otherwise changed through prayer, it is our goal to stress their role as spiritually guides and how their example is everything. A person can not give what they do not have. As sponsors and parents, our relationship with God and the church will have the second greatest influence on the children. God's will and mercy being the greatest. (back) | ||||
8th Grade School Retreats |
Unless otherwise changed through prayer, it is our goal to use this retreat to prepare 8th grade students for their transition into high school by stressing their unique value and purpose in the eyes of Our Loving Father. If a students comes to embrace their true dignity in a true love relationship with Our Heavenly Father through our Lord Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit they are much more prepared to face the challenges (spiritually, mentally, physically, & emotionally) that surely await them in high school.
