The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston strongly recommends all Confirmation candidates attend a meaningful retreat experience prior to celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation. A retreat is a highly effective way for the candidate to experience the Church as a community in a non-academic, open environment. By agreeing to attend this retreat, you are agreeing to fully and actively participate in the entirety of the experiences. If a student has a conflict that absolutely cannot be worked out, he/she must find another Retreat with another parish to attend.
NOTE: It will be your responsibility to make the arrangements with another parish to attend a different retreat, and to communicate this information to the Youth Office. If you need help finding a make-up retreat, please email Joey Harvey.
