OLPH PARISH
All youth grades 7-10 are specially invited for our Welcome Back Fall Youth Retreat on Sunday September 12 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish!
As you head into junior high and high school, how can you continue to grow in your faith and practice using the spiritual gifts you received at Confirmation?
How can you continue to become the best version of the person God created you to be? I just got Confirmed…”WHAT NOW…?”
The retreat begins with our Youth & Family Mass at 12:30 pm with your whole family! (Let us know if you would like to read at Mass, be part of the choir or serve in some other ministry.) Youth will remain at the church after Mass for our retreat activities and pick up time will be 5:30 pm at the back of the church. Lunch and snacks will be provided. The registration fee is $25 (paid in advance) and you’ll receive a free OLPH YOUTH T-shirt if you sign up by August 22.
Register online here: Youth Retreat Online Registration Form
On the day of the retreat we will ask that parents stop at our registration table in the foyer on their way into Mass and sign off that they are giving their child permission to stay for the retreat.
Contact me or OLPH Youth Leader Tricia (tmurphy@olph.ca) if you have any questions at all!
Visit our OLPH Website for more details about what else is happening in the Parish these days.
We’re excited to see you all on September 12!
