The O.C. (Ongoing Conversion) A Prayer Retreat – Saturday, April 2, 2011 -During this one-day retreat participants experience several different types of prayer and see prayer as an avenue for building their relationship with God. By exposing young people to different forms of prayer, this retreat will help them find the types of prayer that are most beneficial to them and will discover the power of both communal and individual prayer. This awesome retreat will be held at Springhill Retreat Center in Richardson and the cost is only $30! We’ll meet in the Youth Room and travel to the center together and return to SPX in time to close out our retreat with Mass. For everyone in grades 6, 7 & 8! Forms and fees due by Friday, March 25th.
Are you joining us? What you will need to know about our retreat:
1) We will meet in the Youth Room at 8:00 a.m. and depart for Springhill Retreat Center in Richardson. At the end of the day we will return for Adoration and Mass. Parents are welcome to join us for Mass but if you are unable to, you will need to be sure to pick up your teen(s) in the Youth Room no later than 6:15 p.m.
2) What will you need to bring besides an open mind and a Christian attitude? Nothing. We will feed you lunch and an afternoon snack so all you need is your Christian attitude and an open mind.
3) What you will not need to bring:
A) A cell phone
B) IPods or other electronics
C) Money or expensive items (we are not responsible for lost items). You will not need extra money for anything while we are there.
4) The current weather prediction is for the low 80's during the day. Of course, this is Texas so anything is possible—just try to be prepared!!! If wearing shorts remember that you will be going to church at the end of the day (shorts and tshirts should be MODEST)! So, if you wouldn't wear it to church you shouldn't be wearing it on retreat!
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call the Youth Office.
