Greetings parents,


The Confirmation Retreat is almost here... The team and I are looking
forward to the retreat. Thank you for gathering the palanca letters for
your child. That will be one of the most memorable aspects of
the retreat. Here's some helpful information to prepare...

o Cell phones, I-pods, electronic/digital devices of any sort are not
allowed at any time throughout the retreat per the usual policy. *We
strongly encourage that your child leave his or her cell phone at home. *This
is an opportunity for the young people to enjoy the beauty of
the retreat center, connect with their group, and to experience God in
their conversations with one another. By not having their cell phones, the
young people can fully immerse themselves in this experience and
distractions are eliminated. In addition, we do not want any valuables to
get lost.

o Saturday is forecasted to have a high of 61 degrees.

o Sneakers, boots or other closed toe shoes. No flip-flops. Jeans or
khakis or the like are preferable.

o Ladies: Covered shoulders. Skirts *are not a good idea*. We'll be
sitting on the floor.

o Wear tees or other shirts that cover your body appropriately.

o Pants/jeans should be worn the way God intended.

o No pajama outfits.

o Jackets in case we do outside activities.
