Newman Center Grad/YA Retreat

The Grad/YA Group at the Newman Center is inviting all YAYAs to their Fall Retreat:

2009 Newman Center Fall Grad/Young Adult Retreat
November 14-15, 2009
Catholic Identity Crisis

Sex, Media and Culture. How do we define ourselves as Catholics in the 21st century when society imposes a different set of standards and beliefs? How do we deal with moral issues that not all Catholics believe in? What are the defining qualities that bring us together in our faith and our journey?

Come join the Newman Center/Grad YA group for a weekend of reflection and fellowship in our quest to experience and discover the mysteries of our faith and our relation to the world. Fr. Raphael Mary will be available all weekend for discussion, mass and confessions.

When: November 14th-15th (planning to be back around 4pm Sun)
Where: Skibac Lodge at Crystal Mountain

Cost: $45 Make check to “Newman Center”. (Scholarships available) (You may download the restration form and pay online.) Registration forms are due to Judy by Wednesday, November 11th. For more information or questions, contact: Alex.

This will be a great retreat, with tons of great and rewarding events planned. The retreat is focus on the big issues that we feel relate most to young Catholics like us: our sexuality and the world's preception of our faith and beliefs. I think time and time again, we struggle with these issues in one form or the other - in our relationships and also in our day to day integrations. We will have tons of small group discussion / faith sharing time for us to share and reflect on these important issues.

On a side note:
Looks like there will be snow at crystal mountain, which means there will be optional snow activities.

The road up crystal should be well plowed, so don't have to worry about that!
