in-person Retreats
Confirmation Retreat
Sam blends teaching with games, and stories to meet teens where they are and guide them to the Truth. Young people leave with a renewed appreciation of their deepest identity as beloved sons and daughters of God the Father. God has a plan for all of His children. Sam helps them see beyond who the world tells them to be so that they can become the people our world desperately needs them to be. This retreat answers the basic and life changing questions of:
Who am I? Why am I here? What is the point of my life? What happens when I die? Does God really exist? What about Jesus? Are all religions the same? Why be Catholic?
Youth Minister’s Retreat
Build up your ministry staff with an event designed for their needs. Give them time together to learn, laugh, grow, and be refreshed.
Faith Night for Teens and Parents

Theology of the Body Retreat
For Teens

“The videos were super. The cliff jump, crushed camper and your heartfelt messages are just right for these students. The reflection notes were also just right.” - Betsy Fitzsimons, DRE, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, Hamden, CT

Covid-19 restrictions have posed complications for youth ministry like never before.

The series includes questions to guide small group discussions.
