The Happening: April 29-May 1

April 29 - May 1, 2016

 
Happening is a retreat weekend "for youth" "by youth" that allows young people (grades 9-12) to explore their relationships with Jesus, each other and the world. Concentrating closely on the person and teachings of Jesus Christ, Happening gives those who attend the desire to understand and serve the church. What's more, it provides a means to continue the Christian formation process in the three-day program. And it is lots of fun! Happening begins Friday at 6:00 p.m. and goes until  5:30 p.m. on Sunday. Participants are expected to be at Happening the entire time. The Dioceses of Michigan and Eastern Michigan share in this ministry for young people.
 
Happening is...
 
  • · a retreat weekend for high school students. We do everything from praying to playing, and from singing to sleeping. There are talks, small groups, free time and fun. We come together to praise God in an amazing environment, and hope you will join us!
     
  • · open to all youth in grades 9-12. Adult sponsors from parishes are also encouraged to attend. Adults must have attended Safeguarding training.
     
  • · more than a Youth Event. It's an experience. You'll find yourself telling your friends, family and complete strangers of the things that you encountered at Happening!
