Thank you for supporting the growth of your youth’s faith through sending him/her on the Divine Mercy Junior High Deanery Retreat. It is vitally important for youth to experience an encounter with Christ, a profound and tangible experience of Christ and His love. While there are many opportunities in the Mass and everyday life to experience such an encounter, this retreat will help guide the youth to experience a personal encounters through the mercy of God.

The retreat draws from Fr. Michael Gaitley’s book The Second Greatest Story Ever Told, which is currently a video series on Formed (for those of you not familiar with Formed, it is Catholic Netflix).

We encourage the youth to leave their phones at home so they can enter most fully into the retreat. I will be carrying my phone (701-516-0392) at all times if you need to reach your youth.

Best, Jennifer Naaden
Director of Young Adult Ministry and Intermediate Youth

    How The Practice Of Ministry Has Affected Your Experience And Understanding

    Give examples of how the practice of ministry has affected your experience and understanding of A) God At the core of my understanding of God is a God of love in covenantal relationship with God’s children. Romans 8:38-39 says it well; “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The practice of ministry has only proven to strengthen that belief. I was called early Saturday morning to sit with a family who had just learned of the death of their daughter/granddaughter in a vehicle accident.…

I cannot remember what happened a week ago, let alone what happened months and years ago. The number of special memories and moments I have forgotten about is unquantifiable.…

    Pleasant Camp Narrative

    The last couple of months have been dreadful. It was filled with exhaustion, boredom, false hope, and above all, plenty of freezing. It all started when we left the steamboat that brought Martin and me all the way from Seattle to the Yukon. The second we placed a foot on the ground, stampedes of other prospectors hurried along the harbor, as every moment that they were ahead of the others bought them a bigger chance in hitting it big in the mines. This is what they believed in the beginning, at least.…

    Support Group Observation

    In attempt to develop range in my observation of support groups, I once again found myself returning to an old stomping ground. Throughout my years in high school, I dedicated several hours a week to my local church in a growth group for high school girls. Although I currently experience mixed emotions with religion, I recalled how influential it was during my teenaged years to have such support, convincing me to return to observe a group to identify ways in why it was so helpful for me during difficult moments in my life. Luckily, my previous growth group leader was still leading groups and graciously accepted my request to be a guest that following week. Meeting once a week, the purpose of these groups was to discuss the Bible and life issues, but based on personal experience, these groups offered much more than a few life lectures.…
