“Either we live the liturgical year with its varying seasons of joy and sorrow, work and
rest, or we follow the pattern of the world” ~ Helen McLoughlin

Goal for this Retreat
This retreat will allow teens to discover how God’s time and our time are connected through the Liturgical Year. They will come to better understand and appreciate the wisdom of the Church and the totality of the Catholic journey as presented through the Liturgical Year. Through the liturgical cycle, this retreat will help teens encounter a timeless and eternal God who loves them in the present moment.
Theme for this Retreat
The theme of the retreat is Alpha Omega (the beginning and the end), a common reference to God. This is especially pertinent because it illustrates the focus on time, as God is the beginning and end of all time. Each session will highlight a different liturgical season using the colors and symbols of each.
