What?
Retreats are beautiful opportunities for teenagers to grow in friendship with their Church community and have extended time to encounter God in new surroundings. Teens often point to retreat as times of pinnacle faith formation moments. This retreat focuses on our call to evangelize. The content challenges all teens to recognize God’s movement in their lives. Once they recognize their faith stories, they are equipped with practical tools to share their story with others. “In the long run, is there any other way of handing on the Gospel than by transmitting to another person one’s personal experience of faith?”
The goal of “Sent.” is to call and equip teens for the mission of evangelization. Using the stories and characters in the book of Acts as a basis, this retreat will help teens understand that they have an important testimony to share about how God is moving in and through them. It is our baptismal call to share that testimony with the world “so that the divine message may be known and accepted by all men throughout the earth.”
