High School Summer Retreat

Throughout life, we encounter moments where we have to make a bold decision. Whether it is with sports, academics, or relationships, there comes a point where we have to choose whether or not to go all in.  To go all-in requires us to leave the safety and comfort of what we are familiar with, and risk the unknown. To go all-in means holding nothing back and giving all that you have.   When Jesus called the Apostles, they did not know what they were getting themselves into. He encountered them where they were, revealed who He was, and invited them to follow Him. After the invitation, it was up to them to decide whether or not to go all-in.   That same call is upon us today. As we navigate this world, God is inviting us into a relationship with Him.   Our aim is to become saints, and to do so requires that we risk everything on the truth of what God offers us.

The High School Retreat is for youth entering grades 9-12, who are looking to learn more about their faith and to spend time with other Catholics throughout the diocese. At this retreat, you will be engaged in small group discussion, hear dynamic keynote talks, engage in prayer, worship, and spiritual formation, play and serve the people of Hankinson.   This multi-day retreat is designed to help the youth grow deeper in their faith and to encourage them to lives as disciples of Jesus.
