Freshman & Sophomore Retreat:
Our Freshman & Sophomore Retreat is offered in the Fall each year and is run by a Trained Team of Peer leaders who are Juniors and Seniors in High School.  This peer-led retreat is usually attended by over 150 teens and young adult chaperones and is full of inspiring witness talks, great discussions, games, music, prayer and much more! It is held at the Archdiocesan Youth Center in Kearny, and is a wonderful weekend away, “retreating” from the stresses of everyday life. All freshmen and sophomores are welcome to attend as Candidates. Juniors and Seniors who have made a retreat before can apply to be a part of the Peer Ministry Team. Contact Craig Johnson, ext. 819,  cjohnson@churchofpresentation.org
