What a weekend! 150 Middle School youth and youth ministers from parishes around the diocese gathered at Gravatt for the weekend.
Based on the scripture passage: Philippians 2:1-13 we faced challenges like, how to make God's joy complete, the importance of serving others before ourselves, the importance of being humble, and responding by faithful action to the knowledge that GOD IS AT WORK IN YOU!!!
We sang songs, ate great food, played games, saw hilarious skits, got to know each other in small groups, worked together on a building project for Gravatt, had fun at the dance, took pictures, went swimming, played games in the big field, had a campfire, prayed together, and played together. It really was a great retreat!
Watch here for more pictures, and don't miss your chance to sign up for the next Middle School or Sr. High Diocesan Youth Event.
Special thanks to Jessica Taylor - our DYLC member (she was on the design and leadership team for this event with Mary Cat and youth leaders from around the diocese). Thanks also to Andy Castillo and Kreg Steppe (this was his first DYE too!) our great youth volunteers.
