Winter Retreat is a weekend that encourages Jr High and High school students in their faith while spending time in community.

The focus for this year’s Retreat is “Devoted to God” and we will be talking about how we can respond and devote ourselves to God in Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength.

Throughout the weekend, students will participate in worship, large group teaching, small group discussion, prayer stations, and free time in the outdoors, and some board games as well.

Who: Any student in 6th to 12th grade in the Diocese of the Western Gulf Coast and their friends can register for this event.

Where: Camp Lonestar in La Grange, Texas

Cost: The cost per person is $145. Most churches will have scholarships available, so check with your youth minister first.

Registration: Before registering, please check with leaders from your church to ensure they will be accompanying your student. Parents should register their students on our planning center page and fill out the release forms they will be directed to. This helps ensure the leaders of the retreat can plan accordingly.

What our students have to say about it:

"One of my most favorite things about winter retreat is the opportunity to spend time with the Spirit through worship, prayer, reflection, and more. Communicating with God, spending time with the Spirit, and dwelling in His presence will leave such a transformative impact on your walk with Christ! Also, fellowship with friends from other churches and meeting new people makes the trip so memorable!" -Olivia R. (Senior)

"I love winter retreat because it gives me a chance to see people that I don't get to see very often. Also I like winter retreat because it helps me grow closer to God and I always learn so much. It's also really great to get away from my phone for a weekend." -Jake M. (Freshman)
