2022 PreConfirmation Retreat

Mark your calendars for the Pre-Confirmation retreats! Planned and hosted by the Diocesan Youth Council, the Pre-Confirmation Retreats will be a weekend of faith, friends, and fun!

PreConfirmation retreats are a chance for young people of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts to meet other young people discerning their call to Confirmation, or even just the faith journey in general! The retreats do not try to sum up a year’s worth of classes in one overnight, but we do try to give all who come a feeling for how making a commitment to one’s faith can be lived out not only in church, but in every part of our day.

At present, the hope is to have the overnight event with the bishop. However, if conditions around COVID make that unwise, a day-long event with the bishop will be held somewhere withing the diocese.

The retreats are led by the members of the Diocesan Youth Council, 9th-12th graders who see part of their leadership and ministry as welcoming all the youth attending retreats, leading small groups, and giving reflections on their own spiritual journeys. They look forward to getting to know all participants!

The Human in All of Us: A day-long gathering for young people and their allies

A day of retreat, refreshment, and service.

The Human in All of Us:  A day-long gathering for young people and their allies. 

The event’s theme, The Human in All of Us, invites participants to put aside their stress and anxieties and reconnect with their own humanity, their soul and center; and at the same time, recognize the humanity in others.  The event will include workshops on wellness, small-group time to share experiences of other young people, speakers, and an invitation to participate in a service project to support unhoused people in our diocese.

Location and registration information coming soon.

NOTE: In the ever shifting times in which we live, the Diocesan Youth Council has concluded that there are too many uncertainties to go forward with plans for a weekend retreat at the Barbara C. Harris Camp and Conference Center, with all the safety complications with overnight accommodations.  Instead, they are busy planning this one-day event.
