WHAT TEENS ARE SAYING
〰️
This retreat was one of the most impactful weekends of my life. The people I met here have become some of my closest friends and have had such an amazing influence on how I live. (Landon Bair; former HSM Teen)
〰️
My life changed when I encountered Jesus Christ fully present in the Eucharist, after going through a hard year of anxiety and depression, I remember feeling overwhelming peace while kneeling in front of this beautiful sacrament. The lord showered me with his mercy and welcomed me home with open arms, the Holy Spirit set a fire in my heart to seek relationship with God and my life changed forever. Faith is not a feeling but a choice that must be made everyday, what is life if not lived for him. (Alaia Erwin; HSM Teen)
〰️
Retreat was absolutely so powerful, through the community of St.Ann and the fellowship formed at Camp Sweeny. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience, getting to share my own testimony while also getting to experience others as well, a beautiful way to spread his word. (Madalena Nguyen; HSM Teen)
〰️
Every retreat impacts my relationships, especially my relationship with Jesus. The words that are used in every talk are written down and used in my daily life. (Gaby Garza; HSM Teen)
〰️
I was intimidated and kind of lost when it came to starting my personal relationship with Jesus, but after going to my first high school retreat at camp sweeney my sophomore year, i got the foundation, support, and community that I needed. Jesus worked in my heart that weekend and showed me how simple it was to love Him and he gave me a deep wanting to learn about Him. This retreat gave me the opportunity to make life long friendships who wanted that same relationship and role models who taught me and wanted the best for me. (Itzel Narvaez; former HSM Teen)

Video & Photos from the last retreat!
As high schoolers, there is a lot of pressure to perform, excel, and achieve. Retreats like this are a great way to find real rest, healing, and joy.
God knows what we need even more than we do. When we take time to focus on Jesus, quiet our hearts, and listen to God - the deepest desires of our hearts can be awakened. Also, HSM Retreats are super fun!
Retreats are also a great way to build community and even form life-long friendships rooted in Christ. We need good friends that lead us closer to Jesus. You are not alone.
