What is ABLAZE?

ABLAZE is a Eucharistic centered Retreat that leads young people to seek a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Through talks, music, adoration, prayer, workshops, fellowship, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and the celebration of the Mass, the young people deepen their love and understanding of the Catholic faith, and encounter the power and richness of God's love and mercy.

This retreat brings young people to know the joy of a life lived in the worship of God and in service to God’s people, and empowers them to go forth with renewed faith, to be witnesses to the Faith, to share the Good News and to be the evangelizers of the New Evangelization.

"I have come to set a fire on the earth and how I wish it were already blazing!"  Luke 12:49 

"If you are what you should be, you will set the world Ablaze!"  -St. Catherine of Siena
