NorthSide Kairos V Retreat Aug. 13 - 16th 2004
This co-educational, multi-parish retreat is very unique because of its diversity. Open to public and Catholic high school students who have completed their sophomore, junior or senior years it has been a favorite activity for our parish teens.
Trained teen leaders lead the small group discussions and large group activities, with the support of several adult youth ministers, providing for a chance to evaluate, and discuss the past, present and future within a Catholic context with peers.
Queen of Angels, St. Matthias, St. Nicholas and St. Ignatius youth have been the core of this program since the beginning, and the program continues to reach out other teens looking for a chance to balance their inner self with the demands of life today.
Applications are available at the Voss Parish Center, or contact David Heimann at St. Ignatius Parish: 773-764-5936
