The Youth Group UNDERGROUND offers two retreats each
year. A
LIFE TEEN
retreat in March for students in grades 9-12 and an
EDGE
retreat in
April for students in grades 7-8.
St. Francis Youth Group UNDERGROUND 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.
The 2009
EDGE of
UNDERGROUND
retreat will be held at the
_________ Retreat Center, April 2009.
This retreat is open to all students in
grades 7 and 8.
