Retreat

Quo Vadis “Where are you going?” comes from the Christian tradition of Peter meeting the Risen Lord on the Appian Way. Peter asked Jesus this question and he responds, “I am going to Rome to be crucified again.” In hearing these words, Peter gains strength and courage and returns to do his ministry. He eventually experiences martyrdom through being crucified upside down.

This retreat is geared towards high school aged catholic teens to provide them with a 4 day experience of God’s goodness and love. The retreat will include various talks given by priests and seminarians, Mass, Adoration, Confession, and a spirit of fraternity through fun and engaging camp activities. Each retreatant will have the opportunity to encounter Christ and deepen his faith, understanding and knowledge of God.
