The Lord has been so incredibly abundant in His gifts on our Into the Deep Retreat Weekends. The waves of mercy, healing, forgiveness and life that have come and will continue to come will be a joy to witness as those on this weekend go forth to lead others closer to Christ.
Into the Deep is the best Confirmation Retreat we offer and you DO NOT want to miss it. This is a 2-night 3-day overnight retreat at Prairie Star Ranch that has time for games, encounters in the Sacraments, small groups, praise and worship, and Eucharistic Adoration. This is a life-changing weekend that you do not want to miss. Registration opens on September 28th.We really encourage our teens to attend Into the Deep, but we understand that schedules sometimes conflict. We trust in the resources and retreat options provided by our brothers and sisters in the surrounding JOCO parishes. A list of the available retreats at parishes in the region will be provided if you have conflicts with our two retreats. We are here to help coordinate a retreat that works best for your teen.

There are two things you are going to hear repeated over and over again this weekend...
Servant Leadership & Stories
For those who are confused about this weekend, it’s about being the group of freshmen that is praying for those 8th graders and the Core Team who are attending the Into the Deep Confirmation Retreat. Along with praying for them, it also includes doing all the behind-the-scenes work without being seen, developing a culture of servant leadership. Now, when we aren’t doing that, we will be growing in relationship with each other through our stories as part of the eternal story of salvation.
This group will be led by two upperclassmen and two Life Teen Core Team Members as they participate in a "retreat within", all while serving for another retreat.
*Be ready to be flexible and work with the Holy Spirit*
Email Emma or Dominic for more information. Spots are limited to the first 7 young women and 7 young men. -
7th Grade retreat
We don't want 7th graders to feel like they're just getting through their 7th grade year until they get to Confirmation. Jesus wants to encounter 7th graders right here right now. And we want to create an opportunity for that encounter to happen.
This retreat is all about creating a space for 7th graders to begin rooting their lives in a personal and authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. In this Saturday retreat, we'll dive into the basics of what prayer is, why it matters and what it looks like to build a daily prayer life. We'll encounter Jesus through games, talks, prayer and worship, recognizing that everything we do in our lives can become a prayer.
