In the past year, Passionist retreat centers have recognized a growing demand for retreat programs for young people. In response, the Passionists began to offer retreats and programs designed specifically for those in the midst of adolescence, a critical time for spiritual and moral growth. Our programs are engaging and theologically sound and emphasize prayer, community-building and a connection between the wisdom and teaching of the Church and our daily lives.
Weekday Retreats
Are you seeking a retreat experience for your students or youth group that is more substantial than an evening but shorter than a weekend? Let’s work together to customize a weekday retreat that could include:
- Sacrament of Reconciliation or Eucharist
- Reflection and mediation time
- Small Group work
- Community building exercise
- Professionally prepared, balanced meals
Weekday retreats can be designed for grades 6 through 12 and are ideal for peer ministers, leadership, Confirmation candidates, or youth groups.
Dates are based on availability.
Weekend Retreats
Passionist retreat centers continue to offer weekend retreats for middle school and high school adolescents or young adults. A dedicated Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry is here to facilitate a one or two night experience of prayer, learning and fun. We offer a variety of topics for you to pick from or we can customize a new topic area for your group.
Retreat themes include, but are not limited to:
- Confirmation
- Asset Building
- Self-esteem
- Peace Building
- Service and Justice
- Community Building
- Discipleship and
- Leadership Training
