Our Lady of Victory Confirmation Retreat
October 18 & 19, 2014
Please note the following
details, rules, and general good advice on how to make our Confirmation retreat
both a spiritual and social success.
- The Bethany Retreat Center’s telephone
number is 814-263-4177, and our retreat leader is Sister Suzanne Thibault.
Deacon Dave’s cell phone number is 814-883-1778.
2. The bus will depart on Saturday October
18th from the front of the OLV Activities Center at 1:00 p.m. The
student must ride the on bus to and from the retreat unless prior
arrangements are made with Deacon Dave.
- The students will receive a snack as they
board the bus. Future meals will include supper, a late night snack, then
breakfast and lunch on the 19th.
- Each student should bring a snack (NUT - FREE) to
place on the ‘Snack Table’ at the retreat facility. Examples include a
large bag of chips or pretzels, a box of cookies, cupcakes or snack bars,
etc. Please do not bring anything requiring refrigeration. What is not consumed
during the retreat will be used on future Sunday classes.
- The Bethany Retreat Center is a MP3
player/cell phone free zone. This is done so you can enjoy the retreat
experience without distractions to your self or others. You may use these
devices during the bus trip to and from the retreat center, but not during
the retreat itself.
- We will be sleeping in segregated
bunkhouses and you must provide your own linens/sleeping bag and
pillow(s). Bathrooms facilities are located in each bunkhouse and you must
provide you own toiletries and towels.
- Please wear/pack appropriate and
sensible clothing and foot wear suitable for outdoor use.
- The Bethany Retreat Center is a
tobacco free area.
- We will celebrate Sunday Mass at the
retreat center before departing at about 2:30 p.m. We should arrive at the
OLV between 3:30 and 4:00 p.m.
