Retreats during the Confirmation Prep Year:
The Fall and Spring One Day Retreats are NOT optional. Our LUKE 18 weekend retreat is an optional retreat that is not required for Confirmation. If your teen is signed up for this weekend, they are still required to attend the one day retreat in the spring as part of the Confirmation Prep process. Your teen is automatically registered for the two one day retreats, so we need to know as soon as possible if your teen will not be attending.
Retreat Make-Up Process. Retreat make-up options are available at: www.reapteam.org. Go to "About" then "Calendar". Please select a date/location and then email Paul Masek, the coordinator of the REAP Team, at paul@reapteam.org - Paul will check with the parish to see if they are OK with guests attending their retreat, and if they are he will email you back with details. Please note that the parish may require a fee and/or that your student bring a lunch or snacks to share. Please copy Erica on all email communication with the REAP Team coordinator. Thank you!
