Calling all 7th-12th graders! Join us on Saturday, February 22nd from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM at the Father Lively Center in St. Johnsbury for a free Diocesan Day Retreat. Come together with other local youth and enjoy a day of prayer, reflection, fun, and hope! We will be exploring the theme, “Light of Hope,” in parallel with the Year of Jubilee, “Pilgrims of Hope,” celebration around the world. Throughout the day, we will partake in fun activities, talks, small group time, Adoration, and Mass. Bring your friends and get to know other Catholics from around the state! The retreat is free of charge, but we are asking participants to bring a bagged lunch and snacks with them. The official end of the retreat is at 3:30 PM at which time parents or guardians are welcome to pick up participants or stay to attend the 4:00 PM Mass at St. John the Evangelist Church with the group.
