Young Adult Retreat, March 2012

In March the Bend and Klamath Falls Newman Clubs sponsored their first Diocesan-wide Young Adult retreat.  The theme was “Life as a Journey.”  The young adults experienced a number of different prayer techniques, and even joined with those attending the RCIA retreat to discuss the Top 5 Necessary items for the Catholic Journey.  They enjoyed great talks and speakers, including “Lent as a Journey” with Sr. Sabina and a talk about conscience with Fr. Weckerle.  The Young Adults were also able to spend some time with the Lord during Adoration with the opportunity for confession, and even had a singing competition at the bonfire Saturday night!  With 100% of the young adults who attended saying they would recommend this retreat, we hope to turn it into an annual event.  If you are interested in helping to plan next year’s retreat, please contact Katie Beaubien (sacredheartyouth@charter.net) or Pat and Carolyn Creedican (creedipc@gmail.com) .
