In the past two
years, the Diocesan Youth Office has taken the theme from the Vatican and put together thematic retreats. This year we had
to create our own theme because Pope Benedict XVI did not proclaim a theme after the year of the Priest in time for CTYA
to put together a retreat for 10' - 11' school year, we are ready to start with the theme “LiVE
LiFE" (Phil 1:21"Chirst is LiFE") The retreat for the youth will focus on living a Holy life as an individual
in their home/family, parish/community and the impact that their LiFE will have in the world. We will be asking for intercession
from the Holy Family; Joseph to help the young men live as Holy Godly men, Mary to help our young ladies understand the role
of a woman of God; Jesus to teach us all on how to be obedient and LiVE LiFE as a child of God.
