    • DIOCESAN YOUTH RETREAT

      Mysterium Fidei
      Mystery of Faith

      May 19-21, 2023
      Anna Maria College


      Registration is now OPEN for the Diocesan Youth Retreat which will take place May 19-21, 2023 at Anna Maria College! The retreat is open to all high school youth as well as current 8th graders!

  • Diocesan Youth Retreat information

    • What are you searching for?

      As human beings, we are constantly searching for the answers to life's mysteries. We search daily for answers to small things - What will I wear today? We search for meaning in our natural abilities - What sports can I excel at? We search for life's pursuits - What will I do when I grow up? But perhaps the biggest and most mysterious search of all are in those lifelong fundamental questions that every human being faces:

      Who am I? What is my purpose? Is God real?

      The start of those answers are not as far as you might think. In fact, God is here right now waiting to reveal Himself and invite you into the mystery of faith? Will you respond?

       

      Retreat Theme and Details

      The theme for the retreat is Mysterium Fidei (Mystery of Faith). Join for a relaxing and recharging weekend that will include fun & games (with prizes!), music, guest speakers, breakout sessions, and an experience in the ultimate mystery of Christ in the Sacraments through Eucharistic Adoration, confession, and Mass! The retreat will start Friday evening and will conclude Sunday morning. A complete and detailed schedule will be available soon.

  • How to Sign Up!

    • To sign up for the retreat, youth are encouraged to attend with a group.

      What counts as a group?
      Groups can be parish youth groups, schools, or even simply a youth or a small group with a chaperone (CORI'd and safe environment compliant). To meet Diocesan safe environment protocols all groups must have at least 1 male adult for every 8 male youth and 1 female adult for every 8 female youth. 


      No Group?
      Group registration is strongly preferred. However, if you are a teen or know of a teen who would like to attend but a parish group is not available for them to attend with, contact Tim Messenger at [email protected] to discuss joining with another group or doing an individual registration.
