The Holy Spirit is powerful and transformative. When the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the apostles at Pentecost, the world was forever changed: The new era of the Church began, and the apostles went out to all the nations proclaiming the good news of the love of Jesus. This retreat will help the youth understand who the Holy Spirit is, the significance of Pentecost, and how they are called to live in the new fire of the Holy Spirit.

Join us on Saturday April 9th for a deep dive into the third person of the trinity. Along the way, we'll make time for relaxation, some crazy outdoor adventures and a campfire-cooked lunch.
