Confirmation Retreat (click HERE for flyer)
"Listening According to Saint Benedict"
At confirmation, Christ seals us with the gifts of the Holy Spirit so that we can be better equipped to spread the Gospel like the Apostles at Pentecost. But it's now enough to just receive these gifts. We have to accept them and choose to use them.

This one-day retreat begins at 10 a.m. and concludes after mass – approximately 6 p.m. The Abbey will provide lunch, snacks and a “sack” supper to take home. Registration is required and this retreat is limited to 80 youth.
COST: $50 per participant
REGISTRATION:
Registration is required and limited to 80 youth. Parental Permission Form is linked to the registration page.
