  1. Our retreat with Christ By: Sean Golden

  2. My Project • This Semester I will be directing a youth retreat called teen ACTS • Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service • This Retreat weekend is based on how we can take the way Christ and his Apostles lived and implement those teachings into our own daily lives.

  3. My mentor • Chris Stevenson • Former Seminarian and now Youth Minister at St. Clare of Assisi Catholic Church • Together we will direct and lead this years upcoming ACTS retreat

  4. Why I chose Chris • He has been my spiritual director for 4 years through Life Teen youth ministry • My confirmation catechist last year • Possess a vast knowledge of philosophy and theology through his time in the seminary • A great role model

  5. Beginning the planning process • Establish ACTS teams and subgroup teams • Pick the theme • Decide on the structure of the meetings and plan its various aspects • Anticipate and get any supplies needed throughout the planning process • Plan community outings and service projects • Most importantly the planning process consists of finding new ways we can grow in our faith lives together and encounter Christ on a more intimate level

  6. ISIAH 55:3 Come to me, listen, that you may have life • This verse is our theme for the retreat weekend • It will be the focal point of all the group skits and personal testimonies given • It was my job to discern and pick the verse for this retreat • I chose this one in particular for its emphasis on God’s love, our calling for a more fruitful prayer life, and joy found in a life dedicated to Christ

  7. Meetings • A time for both community and planning amongst team members • The team consists of about 30 high school students and 10 college students • Meetings consist of dinner, icebreakers, reflection and prayer, and planning • My role in this is to make sure each meeting runs smoothly and is productive • I will lead opening and closing prayers as well as discuss any business that needs to be attended to during the course of our meeting

  8. The Retreat • July 31st - August 1st • 4days filled with various skits and personal testimonies provided by the team • Numerous sacraments provided such as Reconciliation and the Eucharist in both Mass and Adoration • Free time to hang out and build community with one another • Live the 5th talk to conclude the retreat given by myself on how to take what we learned and experienced on the retreat and translate it to our daily lives • Throughout the retreat my job is to make sure things run on time and to help any group that needs me during the course of the weekend
