Embark 2010
Wednesday, July 28th
Attention High Schoolers. The Third Annual Embark retreat is almost a month away. This year's retreat will be Wednesday, July 28th through Friday, July 30th in Current River, MO. Embark is a float trip, a campout, and a retreat. All at the same time.We're serious about this being a retreat, but it's a low-intensity one with lots of fun and free time. There will be Mass, prayer, and three talks from adult team members. Camping will be at Pulltite campground, with access to water, showers, and flush toilets. Meals will be provided... campfire cooking! We'll float the Current River from Akers Ferry to Round Spring over two days. This stretch of river is fun, but definitely appropriate for beginners. Contact the Rectory to register.
Win $10,000!!
