Greetings!
You are invited to spend November 18-20th, 2016 on the Catholic Student Center’s Fall Awakening retreat – a weekend for students and young adults to renew or deepen their relationship with God, themselves, and others.
What can you expect from the Awakening retreat?
Awakening is led by a group of your peers, who have already been on Awakening before. A diverse group of people goes on the Awakening retreat – students with various majors, recent graduates, and people at all levels of faith. During the retreat there are inspiring talks given by students, chances to share with others in small groups, time for prayer, reflection, recreation, community building, and Eucharist. Some of your present ideas about God and the Church may be challenged, and you may end up feeling loved by and closer to a few more people by the end. Invite your friends – and come make new friends. Take a chance on yourself. You are worth it!
What else do you need to know?
We will meet at the Catholic Student Center early Friday evening on November 18th. We will spend the weekend at Todd Hall Retreat Center in Columbia, IL, and return late Sunday afternoon on November 20th. Space on the retreat is limited: There is room for 60 retreatants on Awakening, so please sign up soon.
