3 Retreats, 1 Mission
At CYM, we have THREE incredible opportunities for you to attend a retreat! A retreat is a way to take a step back from life in order to encounter God. You will have the chance to explore your faith alongside your friends and a supportive retreat team. All retreats are open to all high-schoolers, not just Confirmation candidates. Ideally, you will experience all 3 retreats in your high-school career, either as a retreatant or a team member. Consider the options at right. >>
Priority Retreat Registration for Confirmation candidates February 15-28. Registration open to ALL HIGH-SCHOOLERS on March 1.
Register below! Confirmation candidates register by Feb. 28.
All other high-schoolers, register by 2 weeks prior to retreat date.
For Zoom retreats, you will be given the Zoom link the week of the retreat.

- SATURDAY, MARCH 20 – 8-10:30PM
