The Youth Ministry Office can also help to plan and/or run a retreat for your Catholic school! Retreats can be customized to whatever the needs of your school are whether is is a day-long retreat, part of the day, or a weekend retreat (limited availability). Retreats include a mix of social and spiritual experiences. Typical retreats contain icebreakers, talks, team-building, music, prayer, and worship. Mass, Adoration, and confession are highly recommended (priest needed). To schedule a retreat at your school or for more questions, contact Tim Messenger at [email protected].

We are always looking for volunteers to serve on our Diocesan retreat team! If you are someone who has a passion for helping young people, this team is perfect for you! We are in need of all types of gifts and skill sets including small group leaders, leading games/icebreakers, speakers, behind-the-scenes workers, and much more! Team members can help at whatever retreats they are available for (or all of them!). If you are interested in being a part of this team, click on the link below:
