How the Youth Are Affected by the Retreats


The young people who are present gather around Jesus for prayer and worship and experience His presence and love.

Those who are helping with the Prayer Festival lead the participants in song and prayer, there are readings from the Bible and explanations about how to pray as well as talks about the challenges we all have everyday. Jesus in the Eucharist is exposed for the entire weekend. The Eucharistic Prayer and Healing Service on Saturday night is the pinnacle of the weekend.


The weekend ends with an exuberant celebration of Sunday Mass followed by young people sharing with one another their experiences.
