Gr.8 Advent Retreat

December 9, 2022 by St. Augustine's Parish

Grade 8s gathered in the gym at Mount Mary, diocesan retreat centre in Ancaster.

Grade 8 students from St. Augustine and St. Bernadette Catholic elementary schools came together for an Advent retreat led by parish youth minister, Chelsea Torregosa. The themes of Advent as a season of preparation lent themselves well to discussions of preparing for adult life; our Grade 8s beginning to think about the big move to secondary school next fall.

Among their activities was a scavenger hunt on the grounds of the Mount Mary retreat centre in Ancaster, Ontario; and Eucharistic Adoration in the centre’s chapel.

Many thanks to Chelsea and her team of McMaster U. students and recent grads, and to Fr. Whitfield for serving as chaplain for the day.
