Calling all students in 9th - 12th grade: Start the new year with the Lord and with friends! Join us on our annual weekend retreat as we strive to deepen our relationship with Jesus, enjoy the great outdoors, and begin/ continue discerning our vocation. ‍

The Details:

Friday night, January 16 - Sunday midday, January 18, 2026 (MLK weekend, so you still have Monday off)
Location: Dogwood Acres in Chipley, FL | Individuals are responsible for transportation to/from
Pre-Registration required by January 9 | $80 per person | non-Catholic friends are welcome!
What does $80 get me? Two nights of comfy lodging, five meals, several inspiring talks, lots of quiet prayer time with Jesus, and cool outdoor stuff (sports, hiking, and *weather dependent* canoeing, archery, and low ropes)
Please note: students may not come and go from this event. Once they arrive at Dogwood, they are under the care of retreat leaders and chaperones. They are expected to remain until the retreat concludes midday Sunday.

FAQ

Is it okay if my son/daughter invites a non-Catholic friend?

Absolutely! We will be doing Catholic things like celebrating Mass, offering Confession, and Eucharistic Adoration but we will explain proper etiquette in these situations, with a top priority of making sure everyone (Catholics and non-Catholics alike) feel welcome and wanted.
