Bored? Tired? Over-stressed?
Take advantage of a GREAT opportunity to recharge, make some new friends, have fun and learn about your faith in the process.
Sign up for the Teen Retreat on April 25 - 27
This year back at the same great location with even more new activities!!!
Things start Friday at 6:30pm - when the bus departs from St. Francis. We will go through Sunday until about 3:30. There will be good food, friends, faith and fun. Most of the weekend will be presented by other high school teens.
The cost for the entire weekend is only $130 - and that includes transportation, food and overnight accommodations.
Just fill out the attached form, have your parents write a $130 check and sign the form, both pages, and drop them off at the Parish Office on or before March 14th. The forms can also be mailed or dropped off to a Godparent couple, but I need them by march 14th to guarantee a spot.

St. Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Parish Office Hours: Monday thru Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM 630-759-7588
