In collaboration with children’s, family, and youth ministers across the diocese, two diocesan youth retreats have been scheduled for 2025. Both retreats will take place at Shrine Mont.
Middle School Retreat:
Friday March 21 – Sunday March 23
High School Retreat:
Friday October 31 – Sunday November 2
Sue Cromer, Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministry at St. Peter’s in Arlington shares, “Both parishes I have served in the Diocese of Virginia were long-time active participants in diocesan sponsored youth events, formerly known as PYM. The involvement of and investment in our young people has reaped many benefits, including: strengthening their faith, creating community, and encouraging their increased engagement in our congregations.”
A planning team is already working on the program for the Middle School retreat. If you would like to join the planning team for these retreats, please contact Interim Canon for Discipleship Heidi Kim.
