Details about Retreat
We will meet in the St. Louis parking lot on Tuesday at 1pm and return on Thursday by 5pm.
Only those over 21 are able to drive, so if you are over 21, we may ask for your help with carpooling.
There are 20 spots for retreatants (and another 5 for leaders). Registration is first come, first serve. You MUST get your payment and your adult release form in by Dec 1 to hold your spot. Otherwise, those on the waiting list will be accepted.
Retreatants may be asked to share beds. Yes, this sounds awkward, but we were able to arrange it last year so only people who were friends and didn’t mind shared a bed, and they were mostly girls. Shout out to the pair of guys from last year! 😉
You do NOT have to be Catholic or a part of St. Louis to attend this retreat. However, it should be understood that the retreat will be lead from a Catholic perspective, that embraces respectful dialogue with all other perspectives.
You DO have to be between the ages of 18 & 22. If you are in college, but don’t fall into this age range, just contact Katie to discuss before registering.
