    • Diocesan Spring Confirmation Retreats

      Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Youth Ministry Office will be shifting plans for Diocesan spring Confirmation retreats. See below to register for our current retreats.  


      Virtual Retreats
      Virtual retreats take place on Zoom and incorporate talks, videos, small groups, prayer, and trivia (with prizes!). All participants must be registered with their parish ahead of time to participate. All groups must have at least 1 adult per 8 youth. To register your parish group, click on the links below. 

      Upcoming Virtual Retreats

      Sunday, March 14th
      1-3pm

      *Spaces FILLED. No additional registrations being taken at this time*



      In-Person Retreats
      In-person retreats will be shorter than normal, will take in a socially distant manner (masks required) and will incorporate as much outdoor time as possible.

      Upcoming In-Person Retreats

      Saturday, May 8th (*rescheduled from March 6th)
      12-3pm @ Holy Spirit, Gardner 

      *Spaces FILLED. No additional registrations being taken at this time*


      If the above dates don't work for your parish, the youth ministry office can still help! We are able come to you parish and help you plan and facilitate small in-person retreats, virtual retreats, and in-person prayer and worship gatherings.  See below for some different options that are available for your parish.

      Customized Retreats for Your Parish!

      Small Group In-Person Retreats

      Assistance is available to help plan and/or facilitate in-person retreats for small groups. Group sizes are dependent upon current state limitations on group meetings.  Customized retreats are available for your parish's needs and can include talks, socially distanced ice-breakers, small group discussion, music, and prayer.

      Virtual Retreats
      Shortened virtual retreats are also available.  Virtual retreats can take place over the course of a couple hours or over the course of a few days in short segments. Virtual retreats can be made available for both small and large groups. These retreats will take place over Zoom and include talks/witnesses, small group discussions (zoom breakout rooms), trivia (with prizes!), and prayer.

      Prayer and Worship Gatherings
      If you are looking to hold an event/mini-retreat focused on prayer and worship in your church, the youth ministry office can help plan and/or facilitate this gathering. Worship gatherings can accomodate groups sizes that are under the state regulations for worship (currently up to 25% of the church's capacity). These types of gatherings can include witness talks, prayer, Eucharistic Adoration, praise & worship music, etc.

      If you are in need of assistance in planning and/or facilitating your parish's retreat, contact Tim Messenger in the Diocesan Youth Ministry Office at tmessenger@worcesterdiocese.org.
