FAQs
What happens on retreat?
So much! We play games, eat meals together, pray together, sleep in cabins, listen to talks and witnesses, chat in small groups, have personal reflection time, participate in fun group competitions, and much more. We also experience praise and worship, adoration, reconciliation, and mass in an incredible atmosphere of teens sharing in the love of Christ together, removed from the world.
why should I go?
Our Spring Retreat is a weekend away from our everyday lives to focus on growing in our faith. On this retreat, you will encounter and deepen your personal relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ. You will also make great friends, laugh a LOT, make memories you’ll want to share, and have a blast! Youth Ministers from all three parishes have plenty “success stories” of teens who weren’t quite sure whether they wanted to come on a retreat, but after they gave it a chance, were so grateful that God lead them to take that leap of faith!
where are we going and how do i get there?
We will meet at St. Raphael's and then travel by bus to Skycroft Conference Center in Middletown, Maryland. The cost of your bus transportation is included in the trip cost. We'll bring you back too, don't worry. :)
