As you may have heard, our retreats have become legendary. And while that may be true, Youth Ministry has not given up on doing better. Based on Jesus Christ, we hope to enlighten, encourage, and empower youth to either strengthen or even better their lives and the lives surrounding them. We, the adults, young adults, and youth hope to serve the youth by giving them experiences that will affect them for their lifetime.
To those of you who are planning on attending a retreat, these are the things that we ask of you. We ask for you to prepare to leave EVERYTHING at home. By this we mean that you leave all materials (except for what is on the stuff list), all your gossip, all your friends, all your troubles, and worries at home. I am sure all of it will still be there for you when you come back. We ask for you to start anew in body, in mind, and in spirit for this retreat. We hope for this to be a special time for you and others like you.
Included on this site is a stuff list, copy of rules and
regulations, information to be put on the refrigerator prior to a retreat
all of this information will be sent to you along with a Parental/Guardian
information sheet and a Permission Slip form. Please, be sure to fill
out all of the permission slip and sign the rules and regulations sheet
prior to a retreat that you plan on attending. Papers can be either given
to Glenn at the office or given to him before boarding the bus. No youth
will be allowed to board the bus without a permission slip. Glenn is in
the office during the week if you should have any questions.
We Came, We Saw, We Got Soaked! While this retreat may have been a wet one due to the rain it still turned out to be a memorable one. A new record for cement chairs was even set at 5:53! Special Thanks go to our leaders Theresa Ploneda, Sasha Pizaro, Christina Blas, Bradley Pickett, Philip Reynolds, Lizeth Lopez, Nelson Pineda and Glenn. With your help in the evaluation papers we will continue to make the retreats better and better. Thanks go to the cooks for the awesome food. We hope you all had a wonderful time and can't wait to see on the next Retreat in the Spring!
The Saint Charles Retreats have been taking place for over 15 years now. The first ones were started in the late 80's and have rapidly grown in popularity in the intervening years. Two retreats are always run each year one in December and one in March but there are plans for a 3rd summer retreat only for those that have been confirmed.
Retreats:
-Usually the first weekend in December
(based around Advent)
-Usually the second weekend in March
(based around Lent)
-Sometime During Mid-Summer
(for those Youth that have been Confimred)
