The coordinating team members know how much effort and planning it takes to give young Catholics a meaningful, educational, spiritual, safe and fun retreat. We've been there. We're catechists, youth ministers, music ministers and parents ourselves.

Six years ago we set out to bring just such a retreat to the Carolinas...Our plan...to join together and lighten the load for the next generation and to bring the wonder and fullness of the Eucharist to life for our young people. The result is the John 6:35 Retreat.

We bring in the speakers, priests and religious as well as provide the facility, food, drinks, music, BUT  we know that YOU still bear a mighty task to bring your young adults to this event. Please know that we will assist in any way we can. There are some great ideas out there to help you get organized and make this event a life changing one for those young people that look to you for instruction and inspiration. Pass along your experiences and suggestions…We’d love to hear from you and your young adults.

Yours in Christ,
Gerald, Mama Marguerite & all the Team leaders of
The John 6:35 Retreat
