It was held at the Cameron Retreat Center at the St. Dominic Chancery June 7 to 11. Youth had the opportunity for hands-on service each day, giving back to the local Archdiocesan community in adoption of an inner city parish as well as numerous service projects on site.
Young people shared in discussions, reflections, activities as well as daily Liturgy and prayer experiences and developed a true sense of servant leadership. They also received a better understanding of what it means to live one's faith and have the opportunity to make lasting friendships with youth from across the Archdiocese.
