November Weekend at Chanco 2019 

November Weekend at CHANCO 2019 for youth in grades 6-12: The demands of our daily lives can often be stressful and draining. We simply can’t rest and replenish our souls when we are on the go all the time, multi-tasking, constantly bombarded with noise, and always on our phones. November Weekend is an opportunity for youth to come together with friends from all over the Diocese and to spend time in retreat with God. This year we will explore the ongoing process of personal growth and the inner strength that God’s great love provides us all.

Fellowship is fun, spiritual, motivating, musical, and active….. AND it’s at Chanco, so register now!!
