EMMAUS - Saint Patrick Church
EMMAUS
confirmation retreat
Eighth graders! This is it!
The Oneight
Confirmation Retreat
that you won’t want to miss!
12 Noon until about 10 PM,
Saturday, March 21, 2015
And from 9 AM through the conclusion of the
5 PM Life Teen Mass, Sunday, March 22, 2015
Saint Patrick Church - Parish Activity Center
87 Marsh Drive, Carlisle, PA
As outlined in the Oneight program packet, all eighth graders preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation
are required to attend a retreat. This is your opportunity to get away, to retreat, from your everyday lives
and really experience Christ in a deeper way. This is your chance to come to know Him and His infinite love
for you. Join all of the other candidates as well as the Edge and Oneight CORE for this two-day journey to a
deeper relationship with the God who loves you.
Check-in for the retreat will be from 11:30 AM until noon outside of the PAC gym. The retreat will start
promptly at noon. Be sure to have eaten something before you come, as dinner will be your first meal,
served around 5 PM. Following dinner, we’ll meet again for a full evening of sessions and activities,
concluding at approximately 10 PM. All teens need to return to the center by 9 AM on Sunday for the first
session. Lunch will be provided on Sunday. We have a full day of sessions scheduled for Sunday, before we
conclude with the Life Teen Mass. Note that the Mass will include the Rite of Sending for all candidates, and
that all Confirmation sponsors and parents are encouraged to attend. Teens will be free to leave, following
the conclusion of Mass.
As for how to prepare for the weekend, please bring the following: a sweatshirt or sweater (in case the room
temperatures are cool); comfortable but modest clothing; your Bible; an open heart and mind. Please do not
bring the following: cell phone; electronic devices (MP3 players, IPods, video games, etc.) etc.. The idea is
to get away from the distractions of everyday life, and the things that would keep us from focusing our
attention on God.
The cost for this retreat is $30. If the fee is a problem for you, please do not hesitate to contact me for
assistance.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 243-4411 x1116 (office) or at 713-8772
(mobile).
We sincerely look forward to joining you on the road to Emmaus, where we’ll all encounter Christ!

Parents, Would You Be Willing To Serve A Meal?
As noted, the retreat will take place at the Saint Patrick Church - Parish Activity Center. We will be feeding
the retreat participants both dinner Saturday evening, and lunch on Sunday.
We are looking for parents to assist with serving these meals. Dinner will be served at 5 PM on Saturday
(although because we’ll need volunteers to set up and clean up,
the shift would be from 4:30 PM until about 6:30 PM).
Likewise, lunch will be served at 12 Noon on Sunday
(the shift would be from 11:30 AM until about 1:30 PM).
If you would be willing to assist us in this, please provide the requested information below.
Yes, I’m interested in helping serve the teens!
