FAQ

What is the theme of the retreat?

Let's face it. Life is messy! Things don't always turn out the way we expect or desire them to turn out, but that's OK because God has our back. At this retreat, we will take a look at the restorative power of Christ's healing in our lives. How does Jesus Christ bring healing and restoration to our lives, offering us a life of peace and hope? How does He restore our broken relationships with our friends and family and ultimately with God? The retreat theme will be a precursor to our upcoming and second annual youth rally on May 18 "The Glasses of God." 

What will take place at the retreat?

The retreat will begin with Mass and continue with fun games and activities, witnesses and talks by the diocesan youth leadership team, small group time, a simple dinner and Adoration with Psalm 33. 

The retreat will take place at St. Elizabeth's in Ludlow.

Address: 181 Hubbard Street | Ludlow, MA 01056
