Easter High Retreat

by | Nov 14, 2023

WHAT IS EASTER HIGH?

Entering into the mystery of Holy Week, High School students walk with Jesus and His disciples from Holy Thursday through Easter Sunday. Through the Liturgy, talks, prayer moments, small groups and dynamics/activities the Lord shows each one that He came and died for them and that by His Resurrection He gives them a New Life.

F.A.Q.

Why during Holy Week?

Living a retreat during Holy Week gives the participants a new look at the richness of the liturgy and the chance to live Jesus’ last days with other students. They are able to be with Him at the Last Supper, walk with him up to Calvary and witness the Resurrection.

What can I expect?

Each day there is time for talks, small group sharing, dynamics, games, Mass, prayers, skits, free time, and mealtime.

Can I come late or leave early?

As Easter High is formed around the progression of the Paschal Mystery the retreat also has a progression which makes it difficult for students to enter late and leave early. Therefore, we require that every student is present throughout the entire retreat.

What if I'm not Catholic?

Easter High has been a retreat that has helped non-Catholics grow in their personal relationship with Christ.

What if I don´t live in the Portland area?

Spots are reserved first for participants who go through Easter High as an entry door into the Cenaculo Program which is held in Portland. It is not an isolated retreat for all High School students; therefore, spots will first be filled by students from Portland and later will be opened up for student from other locations.

Are scholarships available?

Scholarships are available upon request: oldriver@socsj.org
