Holy Name Youth
Nov. 18-20, 2011
Friday-Sunday


WAKE UP!
“For this reason it says, "Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you." –Ephesians 5:14

Who: Holy Name High School Youth

What: We are going on Retreat. This means you can count on tons of Fellowship Time, a camp fire (w/ s'mores), Low Elements…if it's not freezing!, and most importantly time to grow in our Faith.

Where: Gasper River Catholic Youth Camp and Retreat Center (located just outside of Bowling Green, KY)

When: We will leave from Holy Name @ 5:30pm on Friday, Nov. 18 (You should plan to eat dinner before we leave on Friday) and return by 3:00pm on Sunday, Nov. 20. We should be back in plenty of time to get ready for 5:30 Mass.

Cost: The cost for the Retreat is $50 per youth. This fee goes towards the Charter Bus, food, and lodging for the weekend. Please let me know if money is an issue, it is our desire that all high school youth could attend.

Sign-ups: You will need to sign up in the Parish Office by Wednesday, Nov. 16 to go. You will need to fill out all the necessary forms at that time as well (Health Form, Code of Conduct, Gasper Forms). DO NOT WAIT TO THE LAST MINUTE TO SIGN UP, YOU MIGHT MISS YOUR CHANCE TO GET TO GO!
