In a world that constantly pushes the idea of chasing happiness, fame, and comfort, the Church offers a different message: You were made for more. You were created for greatness, to live boldly in your faith, and to push beyond your comfort zone to become who God calls you to be.

​

But do you truly understand how great you are in God’s eyes? On this retreat, you’ll be invited to reflect on your identity—your true, everlasting identity as a child of God.

You’ll also dive deep into your authentic personality traits, recognizing both your strengths and the challenges you face, all while walking the path of faith.

​

This retreat will give you the chance to look back on the last few years of your life and consider where God has been at work.

How do you want to grow in the future?

How can you strive for greatness, not as the world defines it, but as God envisions it for you?

​

Come ready to be inspired, challenged, and transformed as we explore what it means to live a life of true greatness in Christ.

​

High school has been an adventure, full of ups, downs, and everything in between. Over the past few years, students have navigated the complexities of growing up within its walls—juggling academics, friendships, pressures, and personal growth.

​

"Venture" is a dynamic, hands-on retreat day created to help students take a step back and reflect on their personal journey. They’ll have the chance to look at where they’ve been, gain insight into where they are now, and begin envisioning the path ahead.

​

Through a mix of engaging activities and reflective exercises, students will tap into the power of their stories—their struggles, triumphs, and everything that makes them who they are. They’ll explore how their experiences, even the tough ones, have shaped them and provided strength. As they uncover this personal power, they'll find the healing and confidence needed to continue forward, no matter what life throws at them.

​

This retreat is more than just a reflection; it’s an empowering experience that equips students with the tools to embrace their journey, learn from their challenges, and step boldly into the future. It’s a day full of discovery, growth, and fun, guiding them to live with purpose and resilience as they venture through life!

This retreat is all about active participation! Through interactive activities, dynamic media, and a small social project, students will dive deep into the 7 themes of Catholic Social Teaching.

​

Together, we’ll explore how each of us is inherently valuable in God’s eyes, and how our actions—both big and small—can make a real impact on the world around us.

We’ll focus on understanding our worth, our call to love, and the responsibility we carry as young Catholics to bring positive change to both our local communities and the world.

​

This is more than just a retreat—it’s a call to action for students to step into their role as the future leaders the Church and the world need.

​

Perfect for larger groups and can even be organized as a conference-style event!

This retreat invites students to explore the personal filters they use to navigate their relationships, emphasizing the importance of connections with themselves, their friends, their families, and God. They will reflect on how these filters—shaped by life experiences and fears—can both protect their hearts and sometimes prevent deeper, more authentic connections with others and with God.

​

Additionally, students will explore the dynamics of their relationships by considering how they relate to others and how those connections can be strengthened. This part of the retreat will encourage them to recognize the importance of nurturing their bonds with loved ones and how those relationships enrich their spiritual lives.

As they reflect on their connections with themselves and others, students will also engage in discussions about their relationship with God. They will be encouraged to embrace moments of prayer and reflection, allowing them to deepen their spiritual connection and strengthen their faith.

​

Ultimately, this retreat aims to empower students to build and maintain meaningful connections with themselves, their friends, their families, and God. By focusing on these essential relationships, students will learn to express love, compassion, and integrity in their daily lives, becoming witnesses to the joy and truth of Christ’s love in the world.

As students approach a pivotal time in their lives, they are faced with significant decisions, increased responsibility, and newfound independence.

This retreat is designed to prepare them for what lies ahead as they step into "The Real World" after high school.

​

Throughout the day, we will equip students with essential tools to strengthen, maintain, and defend their faith in the face of everyday challenges. They will be encouraged to take an honest look at their lives, examine their habits, and learn how to navigate the secular world with grace and confidence.

​

Our goal is to help students uncover the most authentic version of themselves, both during the retreat and in their daily lives moving forward.

We will share personal stories that resonate deeply, reminding students that they have a unique purpose and mission. They are important, valuable, and capable of making a meaningful impact in the world around them.

​

This day promises to be a transformative experience, empowering students to embrace their identity and live out their faith boldly as they embark on this exciting new chapter of life.
