Is this retreat a requirement for confirmation preparation? Yes. The Bishop's expectation is that all teens seeking the sacrament of confirmation attend a retreat.  If your teen has a conflict with this date, please contact Lori Miller.

Can my teen attend just part of the retreat?  Your teen needs to attend the entire retreat.  If they miss a session, the retreat will not be as impactful.  Our goal is for your teen to encounter Jesus- not just learn something about him.  This is most likely to happen if they make the commitment to the entire retreat.
