October 21, 2024 at Merici College
On Monday 21 October, our Year 8 students are set to embark on the Catch the Wave Retreat here at Merici College.
This initiative is part of the Catholic Schools Youth Ministry International (CSYMI) program, aligning with Archbishop Christopher’s vision for the renewed engagement of youth in our archdiocese. The first phase, Catch the Wave, offers a unique one-day retreat, designed to deliver the message of youth ministry in an engaging way, meeting students where they are. It’s a day filled with exciting activities, encouraging students to explore their faith with enthusiasm.
Every Year 8 religious education class will be participating in this retreat on October 21. Following the retreat, Year 8 students will have the chance to express their interest in continuing with the CSYMA program in 2024. This program includes an Introduction to Youth Ministries course during Religious Education class time.
Recess and Lunch will align with the regular Merici Schedule, and students are advised to bring their own food as per normal.
Please note that the Year 8 Catch the Wave Retreat on October 21 is an integral part of the Merici College Retreat Program, and attendance is compulsory.
