UPCOMING EVENTS!


(**REGISTRATION CLOSED FOR WORK CAMP**)


“Fiat” is a Latin word that refers to Mary’s response to the angel Gabriel, “May it be done to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38). The goal of Fiat Days is to bring high school aged women together who desire to grow in faithful discipleship and personal holiness to be better able to discover their own vocation from the Lord, with a special focus on the call to religious life. We will be joined by religious sisters from several communities for this three-day retreat.

Fiat Days Retreat is open to all rising 10 ^th graders through graduated seniors. Due to the nature of the retreat experience, we cannot accept any individual who is younger than 10 ^th grade.

Registration is $50. Register by June 22, 2021!
HOW TO REGISTER
FOR FIAT


July 28-30, 2021 (Details to come!)

Quo Vadis is a Latin phrase which translated means “Where are you going?” The goal of the Quo Vadis Camp is to bring high school aged men together who desire to grow in faithful discipleship and personal holiness to be better able to discover their own vocation invitation from our Lord, whatever that might be. This is accomplished through a 4 day experience that is highly energetic, fun, active, prayerful, and meant to build fellowship among the participants.

Quo Vadis is open to all rising 10th through 12th graders for the 2021-2022 academic year. Due to the nature of the camp experience, we cannot accept any individual who is younger than a rising 10th grader. In addition, we cannot accept any recently graduated 12th graders. For this population, there are other young adult discernment experiences that are available during the year.


August 3-7, 2021
(August 3-6 at St. Andrew's/August 7th at EPIC in Powhatan, VA)

Discipleship Week is an opportunity for high school teens from across the diocese who desire to know Jesus better and to live and serve as He did.  This week is for teens who are ready for more:  more faith in their own lives, more community with Catholic peers, and more action to spread the Good News.  This week will include growth in personal discipleship through prayer and mentoring, practical training on how to be a Catholic leader who leads from their love of Christ, and a final group project where they put these skills into practice.  They will pray, learn, and work alongside other teens from across the diocese, helping them to see that they are not alone in their love of the Lord or in their desire to serve His people.  The hope is that the high school teens who attend Discipleship Week return to their communities with a renewed zeal for their Catholic faith.

The final group project is EPIC, a one-day diocesan event for middle school youth (rising grades 6-8).  The high school teens from Discipleship Week will hold a variety of leadership roles at this event, from giving short testimonies to coordinating relay race games.

A typical day of Discipleship Week will include 3 sessions that will be a combination of Zoom and off-Zoom talks and activities.  These sessions will include personal prayer and reflection, practical skills for missionary discipleship, and group projects to prepare for EPIC.

The Discipleship Week is for rising 11^th & 12^th graders on the SAYL Team.
There are VERY limited spots and you must have Megan's recommendation.
