Blessed start to the Nativity Fast!
I am excited to finally announce our upcoming High School Winter retreat on December 29-31. This retreat has been a long standing fixture in the Rocky Mountain region, started and lead by Fr Anthony Karbo for many many years. I am honored to continue the tradition. We have drawn youth from as far as Albuquerque NM to Bozeman MT and from the western slope. This winter camp takes a less structured format, providing an opportunity for High School age teenagers from our various churches to interact and get to know one another in an intimate setting. Lifelong friendships have come from these retreats. Our schedule beings and ends with prayer, teachings and spiritual instruction but with lots of free time for games, activities in the snow and the always popular and competitive BROOMBALL on the frozen pond – North vs South!
Please feel free to pass this information along to anyone in your parishes. All the information you need is provided in the link in this email where you can also register and pay.
Of particular note: we do need staff for this retreat. If you have adults in your parishes who are willing and able to serve our youth in this manner please encourage them to do so. Adults/Staff can use the same link here but click on the “staff registration” link at the top of the form. This will take you to a separate form that has additional instructions in preparation for serving our youth including some training and background checks.
