The program year for youth group gatherings has ended, but that doesn’t mean the fun stops! There are two retreats planned for this summer, one in July and one in August.

The first is a St. Michael’s-only retreat happening on Monday-Wednesday, July 22-24, in Bend. The group will be staying at the lovely home of parishioners right on the Deschutes River. The weekend will be filled with outside activities, sightseeing, prayer, song, games, teamwork, service projects and good food! Watch for information on a planning meeting in early July; but if your St. Michael’s youth is interested, please contact Scott+.

Then on Saturday-Sunday, August 3-4, the Diocese of Oregon is hosting another Hope & Fire overnight experience for young people in middle and high school at St. James in Lincoln City. Watch this space for details to come, including itinerary and packing list.
