Retreat on a Budget

Everyone loves a weekend retreat getaway — but not everyone loves the cost. If young adults in your community can’t afford the time and money required for an off-site weekend retreat, then host an in-house day retreat at your parish. Sometimes, you can even do an entire weekend retreat in-house, ending with Mass in your own parish. Get creative and introduce young adults to spaces in the parish where they may not much spend time, like a side chapel or parish library.
