Take Courage: Let’s Light Up Our City!
July 7 @ 10:00 am - July 13 @ 7:30 pm
$100This summer, Holy Name of Jesus – St. Gregory the Great Parish is excited to launch the first-ever TAKE COURAGE: Let’s Light Up Our City Youth Service Retreat!
📍 A Day Camp for Teens in the City!
Open to ages 13–17, this one-of-a-kind summer experience combines hands-on service with opportunities to grow in faith, leadership, and community.
Teens will serve those in need, explore the Church’s social teachings, reflect through prayer and liturgy, and discover NYC through cultural outings and interfaith encounters.
This retreat is inspired by the Teens4Unity camps happening around the world and by the words of Chiara Lubich (1920–2008), founder of the Focolare Movement, whose cause for beatification opened in 2015:
“Who would not want to see their own city, without the ‘gray’ of solitude and indifference, but instead illuminated by love, which brings people together and builds up brotherhood?”
Registration: $100 (Scholarships Available)
*Includes lunch and dinner
