We took time for prayer, engaged in discussion and relaxation with other graduate students and young adults in this retreat across the Bay.

Young Adult Retreat

October 21-22, 2011
Mission San Jose Motherhouse
43326 Mission Blvd.;, Fremont, CA 94539-5829

All of us want to be transformed in some way, but are often deterred by the risks involved. This retreat examined the idea of transformation, risk, and reconciliation -- both with God and with others. We took time to step back from the course of daily life and enter into the unknown to renew your commitment to Christ Jesus through meditation, music, journaling, and ritual.
