Retreat: (n) a period of seclusion, retirement or solitude.
When do we make time to seclude ourselves from the hectic pace of day to day life? For most Young Adults, the answer is rarely if ever. Even on vacations, we hyper plan every hour, minute, and second. We want to get to our hotel by this time, be on the beach by that time, and make dinner by another time. When we get home, we may be more tanned; more well traveled, even better informed, but rarely are we more at peace.
As a Young Adult at Saint Lawrence the Martyr, you have an opportunity to participate in The O.C., Young Adult Retreat. This retreat will take place on Saturday, 23 February. It will begin at 8:30 AM with morning Mass in the church and end at 3:30 PM.
During The O.C., Young Adult Retreat, you will have time to seclude yourselves from your daily life. Leave behind the all those errands, projects, and tasks that cloud your mind from looking inward. Lent calls us to look inward. Lent calls us to examine ourselves and see how we might reflect our Catholic Christian faith into the world. Lent calls to Prayer, Penance, Almsgiving, and Fasting, this retreat will help you to see how you may express those, in your busy lives, so you can truly understand how you want to achieve your faith in action.
Our faith never calls you to forsake the real world and live in solitude. While some choose that path, the full expression of our faith is at home in the family, at work, and in the world. We hope to help you, with one day retreat, to examine yourself in the context of your faith.
Another thing you can count on during this retreat, is the only fasting you will do is fasting from the outside world, there will be breakfast and lunch.
There will be a fee for this retreat of $15 per person or $25 per person. This cost will defray the cost of food and some material.
If you are a Young Adult, 18-35ish, married or in a relationship or single, a student or working, busy or bored, and would like more information or to reserve your spot at The O.C., Young Adult Retreat, please contact the Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry, Bruno MartÃnez at 408.869.8254 or at bmartinez@saintlawrence.org
