It’s Time to Embrace Winter’s Grace

This special winter retreat warmly invites youth to deeply explore the inspiring theme, through a variety of thoughtfully designed lessons focusing on grace and gratitude.

Experience Lent as You Follow Jesus into the Desert

“Follow Jesus into the Desert” encourages youth to intentionally step away from daily distractions and deeply enter the profound mystery of Christ’s forty days in the wilderness. Let this mini retreat spark grace, courage, and renewed beginnings in your life.

It’s Time to Spring Clean Your Spirit

Spring symbolizes renewal in our spiritual journey, as the cold of winter yields to warmth and new life blossoms. During this season, all youth are encouraged to refresh their spiritual lives and welcome transformation. This mini retreat offers a blend of theological reflections, Scripture, and practical exercises designed to lead you toward renewal in Christ and strengthen your relationship with Him.

Let’s Reflect the Fire of the Holy Spirit

Reflecting the Fire of the Holy Spirit is a summer mini retreat offering a unique invitation for all youth to pause, reflect, and rekindle the flame of the Holy Spirit. Let this summer be a time to deepen your faith, build community, and ignite the fire of divine love within your heart. Experience opportunities for prayer, reflection, fellowship, and personal growth as you draw closer to the Holy Spirit.

Nothing Compares to the Transformation of Autumn

A change like Autumn Retreat explores change and renewal for youth. The phrase “A change like autumn ” suggests transformation, letting go, and new beginnings, like the shifts in fall. This retreat offers a space for individuals to reflect, release what no longer serves them, and embrace personal growth and spiritual renewal with the Lord.
