Effects of Retreats
This time away is vitally necessary for everyone — young and old alike — to invite the opportunity for extraordinary spiritual growth.
While the experience is different for every person, all are touched by God in a personal and tangible way.
We may not immediately witness the effects of a retreat, but the experience often defines and strengthens one’s perspectives, convictions and values as they grow in faith and in relationship with God.
The Retreat Experience
OPENS hearts and minds of young people to the reality of Jesus Christ living in and among us.
DEEPENS their understanding of their relationship with Jesus Christ.
EXPLORES a range of themes through various methods and activities.
EXAMINES their own interior faith.
Time & Space
A youth retreat experience can be one of the most significant events in the faith life of a young person. Marello Youth Retreat Center reserves time just for youth. We give them time and space to open their minds and hearts to a deeper relationship with God. To young people, the 21st century presents a remarkable world – a world full of joy and breathtaking awareness, but also a world with distractions and confusing choices. A retreat can profoundly strengthen the spiritual life of youth who seek to know God and invite Him into their hearts.
