Come Get Involved!
Hey Everyone...

Hopefully you and your programs are off and running in the New Year.

We've got a TON of things upcoming here at the Retreat Center and I hope you and your programs/ Schools jump on board.

First off.. on a kinda bummer note.. we have had to CANCEL our Jr. High Youth Rally.. CHAOS that was set for March 1st. (Trust me. I HATE having to cancel anything) But I had to for two main reasons.. we haven't had anyone volunteer to offer workshops for the day, and we haven't gotten anyone that has shown interest this year, or called us to register! YIKES.. oh well. you offer.. and hope!

However we do have the Dream of Peace and Justice Day(Fri Feb 29th), and Youthfest (Sun March 2nd) coming up in three weeks. You can download registration forms for these events on our website. We are still looking for one or two people that might want to offer a workshop for Youthfest.. so if you are interested let me know!

Youthfest is gonna be good.. GREAT music by our House Band, Tony Melendez and his Toe Jam speaking and talking for the day.. and mass capped off with Fr Joe Mancini! PRICELESS!

We also have upcoming...

Tracey has a Crossroads retreat for any 9th and 10th graders that might want to make a retreat. Good retreat.. well worth sending your members on it! Plus there is another Search Retreat coming up too!

Sister has lined up a great workshop on the Bible for March 8th.. check it out on the Website!

REJOICE is just around the corner.. you can call Judy in the Office get more info..or get it off our website!

I'm looking forward to Archdiocesan Ski Trip in two weeks.. almost 200 people this year! Woo hoo!

Finally we also have all the stuff up on the website for the Cotillion (the Youth Ministry Semi Formal/ Awards Night) and the NJ State Youth Rally set for Great Adventure in May!

Oh well.. thats about all for now.. let me get back to watching the Devils game - we're beatin up on the Hurricanes :-)

Until next time!
