High School Retreat 2016:
QUEST

The Office of Youth Ministry and the Diocesan Youth Council look forward to welcoming you and your young people at the annual High School Retreat!

Come enjoy the midwinter beauty at the Barbara C. Harris Camp and meet young people and adults from all over the diocese! We will have small group workshops, indoor and outdoor games, worship that gets you both moving and thinking, the LIVE band Fever Fever, and above all, time away from the stress of everyday life, so that we can pay a little more attention to the Spirit of God!

Participants will also have a chance to contribute to the diocesan mission strategy by participating in a youth-focused forum hosted by the Mission Strategy team.

Adult mentors will also have the opportunity to take part in special program sessions specifically taliored to you.  Whether you are a professional youth worker, or this is your first time doing this work, this is a wonderful opportunity to develop skills that will help improve your parish ministry. If you can't attend the retreat, but would just like to come for the day to participate in this free training, please email Mark (hmsmith@diomass.org).

We don't want ANYTHING to stand in the way of you taking part in this weekend. 

• If money is an issue for youth or adults, scholarships are available.
• If you don't have a ride, we will help to figure it out -- NOTE: We provide bus transportation to and from southeastern Mass., Boston, and Woburn for $25 per person.  
• If you can't find an adult chaperone, we will work with you to find supervision

Please contact H. Mark Smith ASAP (hmsmith@diomass.org) if anything is standing in your way and we can figure out how to make it work. If you want to go, you CAN!

Note: This retreat is open to youth in grades 9-12, as well as members of ongoing youth groups in 8th grade.  If you have questions about eligibility, please contact H. Mark Smith (hmsmith@diomass.org).
