EVENTS!
The importance of retreats can be seen in the life of any spiritual person. We believe it's especially important for teens to get away from their super-scheduled lives. Retreats provide the necessary time and space to spend time with God, sacred scripture and community. Our Youth Missioner's office creates opportunities for overnight retreats throughout the year for middle and high school students. For more photos please check out our Facebook page!
Note, too, if your parish offers youth retreats and would like another set of helping hands, we offer resources and help host your retreat. Do not hesitate to contact us!

AGE RANGEThe Youth Ministry office provides programs for youth who are currently in grades 6-12. If your group has members who are younger, please contact the office and we would be happy to discuss their possible involvement. Some programs are specific to certain groups. .

SCHOLARSHIPSIt is our goal that no child, youth, young adult, or adult miss an event because of financial reasons. We offer scholarship assistance. We raise funds specifically for this purpose. For most events the diocese covers at least half the cost of the event up front (mission trips excluded.) But if further assistance is needed, let us know.

REGISTRATIONScroll down to the event you would like to register for and click the button. All registration is received through Formstack and electronic signature.

Checks can be made out to the Diocese of Maryland with name and event in memo, and mailed to the diocesan office to Attn: Youth Ministry or cash can be delivered on the day of the retreat.
