Confirmation Retreat Weekend

St Joseph & St Francis Cabrini
Confirmation / High School Retreat Information
January 20-22, 2017
     This Year as in the past several years, we will be using parts of the Search Retreat experience combined with other retreat aspects to help develop and foster a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit, and each other, in a very special way. The retreat is focused on preparing students for confirmation, but the retreat will be open to all high school students.
     Will arrive at the PAC Youth Room at 4:30PM on Friday, January 20 and eat Little Caesars Pizza, we will be on the road by 5PM. Students from St Francis Cabrini will meet at 5PM and have pizza. We will be leaving Benton City before 5:30PM. Bags may be searched at random upon arrival or throughout the weekend. We will return Sunday, January 22, approximately at 3 PM at St Francis Cabrini, and 3:30PM at St. Joe's. There will be no LifeTeen the evening we arrive back.

Packing List:
There will be NO need to pack phones, iPods, or other electronics. If they are brought we will be collecting them upon arrival in Ellensburg, and they will be returned after we depart Lazy F. Parents can reach students through the retreat center phone number or Aaron's phone. There is very little reception where we are going and it is good to retreat from our technology as well.
No drugs, alcohol, or weapons of any kind will be permitted! If you have prescriptions they must be documented. Once again, bags may be searched at random before departure or throughout the weekend.
