Finding Jesus in the Virtuous Life Young Adult Retreat - May 10-12

Join Fr. Oetjen for this exciting young adult retreat.

God's law orders us towards goodness-towards union with God Himself. But God does not only order us from the outside. His grace transforms us from within, ordering every aspect of our lives towards union with Him, and this is the essence of the virtuous life. This young adult retreat will be an opportunity to spend a weekend contemplating the “well-ordered life in Christ,” using the wisdom and insight of St. Thomas Aquinas, and special consideration given to the virtues of Fortitude and Temperance.

Retreat cost is $285 and financial assistance may be available.
