retreats are a special way to reach out to our young people.
They can be powerful, life-changing events for teenagers. A
retreat is much different from a youth group meeting. It is
a time to get away from the routine of school, work, and
parish responsibilities.
The retreat provides an environment for grappling with faith
issues and learning new ways to pray. Some young people have
never experienced group prayer outside of Mass and have
never experienced liturgy in a group of less than four
hundred people. The retreat is an opportunity for them to
celebrate their faith in new and different ways.
A retreat is a great opportunity to build community in the
youth group. Retreats offer teens a comfortable setting for
examining and talking about their relationship with God. It
is a time to deepen that relationship and learn new ways to
communicate with God.
Relationships - with peers and with parents - are a constant
concern for young people. Retreats, by translating the
message of Christ into action in our everyday living, can
give young people options for daily decisions on how to
relate to others.
