This young adult retreat, centered on the theme, “Faith: Trusting in the God Who Waits for You,” will focus less on specific beliefs and more on faith as openness to the heart Our next Young Adult Retreat will be April 9-11, 2027.

This young adult retreat is centered on the theme, “Remember, Rejoice, Renew”. For 100 years, Mater Dolorosa has offered a space to step back from the pressures of daily life and reconnect with what truly matters. This Centennial Retreat invites young adults to explore faith in a real and meaningful way while building community with others on a similar journey. Inspired by the Passionist tradition, we’ll reflect on the challenges and hopes that shape our lives today, celebrate where we’ve been, and discover new possibilities for the future. Through prayer, conversation, reflection, and shared experiences, you’ll be encouraged to grow in compassion, find renewed purpose, and leave inspired to make a difference in the world around you.

  • Friday, April 9 at 6pm through Sunday, April 11 at 12pm.
