A RETREAT for 13-30 year olds who want to MEET Jesus in a LIFE CHANGING WAY!
Hailing from the Bronx, New York, the Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Renewal, along with the Community of St. John from France, will bring their powerful preaching and witness to the young people of south central Wisconsin by facilitating this weekend retreat aimed at helping all participants “meet Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, in a life changing way.”
Due to such powerful results from these retreats throughout the world, Bishop Robert Morlino cordially invites all youth to this event, which is being held at the Bishop O’Connor Catholic Pastoral Center from 6pm on Friday, February 26 and concluding on Sunday, February 28 at 12:30pm.
The event is open to all young people ages 13-30 and also provides an excellent retreat opportunity for those preparing for Confirmation. Limited space is available, so please register early. In addition, limited housing accommodations are available at the BOCPC.
For more information, please visit the Diocese of Madison's Youth 2000 web page.
YOUTH 2000, an international spiritual initiative, organizes and directs Eucharistic centered retreats for young people. Begun in 1990, YOUTH 2000 is a response to the challenge of Pope John Paul II to "become shining heralds of the reevangelization and generous architects of the civilization of love." YOUTH 2000 promotes, organizes, and directs retreats based on the Gospel of St. John, Chapter 6, "I am the Bread of Life." The focus on the Eucharist shows young people that Christ must be at the center of their lives. The format of each retreat, which includes the Mass, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, prayer, talks, music and fellowship, provides a means to help young people develop a deep and lasting personal relationship with Jesus Christ, especially in the Eucharist, "the source and summit of Christian life" (Lumen gentium 11). Young people gain a solid foundation upon which to build their lives. |
