As you approach the halfway point your last year of high school, you have a lot of stress on your plate! There are so many decisions to be made and time seems to be moving faster. Planning what to do after high school, as well as balancing your extracurriculars, friendships, and classes can be overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be. You are the child of a loving Father who wants to be with you on this journey.

Join other Catholic young adults of the New Albany Deanery at this year's senior retreat, known as The Summit. By attending The Summit you will gain a better understanding of who you are and how to keep Christ at the center of your life as you enter adulthood. There really is no more important time for you to strengthen your faith and love of Christ than right now!

Retreats include the following components:

• Inspiring witnesses from trained retreat leaders

• Small group discussions with other high school seniors

• Devotional prayer experiences

• Sacraments (Mass and Reconciliation) and Eucharistic Adoration

• Private time for personal reflection

• Plenty of time for rest and recreation on the grounds of Mt. St. Francis

This year’s retreat will be held February 9-11, 2024 at Mt. St. Francis Center for Spirituality (101 St. Anthony Dr. / Mt. St. Francis, IN 47146). Led by a trained staff of retreat leaders from the New Albany Deanery, the retreat begins at 6pm on Friday night and concludes on Sunday evening by 6pm, requiring no absences from school.

You only have one senior year. Step away from the busyness and prepare yourself for a life in Christ.
