We finished the retreat for St. John’s 8th grade this evening with a campfire and a wonderful prayer experience. This retreat is one of my favorite because it is always a great privilege to listen and watch as students make this important transition. One of the most moving parts of this experience is the closing prayer, in which the students offer prayers for one another in the future and in thanksgiving for their time together. With at least 4 more of these retreats this month, we are filling our schedule.
Today the students came to Camp Don Bosco and spent the morning reflecting about their friendships and their time together. We spent the afternoon on the challenge course helping them develop skills needed moving forward, like trust, communication, commitment and problem solving.
