CREDO June 25-28

This high energy 4 day retreat is being sponsored by the Archdiocesan Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry and will take place at the Spiritual Center of Maria Stein. As part of the planning team, I can tell you that this is quite possibly the most exciting thing I’ve been a part of in youth ministry, and that’s saying a lot!!
