Middle School Retreat
Jesus tells us, “a new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another” (John 13:34). During this retreat, the youth will dive into this Scripture verse and discover what love really is. We will learn that in order to love as Jesus loves us, we must first know and follow Him. The youth will have opportunities to experience the healing power of God’s love through prayer and the Sacraments, as well as uncover ways we can share the unending love of God with others.
