Catholic Teens 2-27-07

Hey All—

Jason Evert will be at St. Bronislava this Wednesday night from 6:30-8:30PM. He’s giving a bunch of talks in the area…and each one is different. The Wednesday night talk is called “Romance Without Regret”. If you’ve ever heard Jason talk, you know how awesome he is. If you haven’t yet, take my word…”GO!” It’s worth it.


Part of the Confirmation process is going on a retreat. Many teens dread this part of their preparation. Yet, a retreat is a beautiful opportunity to refresh ourselves in the Lord. This is in effect what I and 2200 men did last weekend at a day-long Men’s Conference. We came together to focus on God and left renewed and refreshed. This coming weekend we are holding our annual “College-Age Retreat” at the Lions Camp in Rosholt. This retreat runs from Friday evening through Sunday morning. And the participants are EXCITED about it. Heck, I’m excited to be coordinating it! Please keep these young adults in your prayers!

Even the pope takes retreats. In fact, he’s on one this week. On top of that, he asked for our prayers for him while he’s on retreat. How cool is that? The pope asking for you and me to pray for him on retreat!

Benedict XVI to Spend Week on RetreatBefore praying the Angelus today with the crowds gathered in St. Peter's Square, the Holy Father asked the faithful to "please support me with your prayer, and I will be happy to do the same in the recollection of the retreat, invoking divine power on each one of you, on your families and your communities." -From Zenit.org

Intentions:
-For this weekend’s college-age retreat.
-For the Pope on his retreat.
-For all the other intentions you hold in your hearts, we pray to the Lord.
Lord, hear our prayer.
