Start thinking about the Confirmation retreat for your 9th grade students! It will be held at Gannon University, Erie, PA on November 8, 2025. Mark your calendars and get your kids excited! The group from Damascus ministries will lead the day with great music, fun activities and some deep spiritual reflections and exercises. It is FREE for your youth and the volunteers accompanying them. Their website proclaims: Jesus isn't boring. His Church isn't, either. Damascus offers retreats and resources that help people encounter Jesus and live the adventure of the Catholic faith. Isn’t this what we want for our youth!? Watch for more details in the coming months. For any questions, please call or email the Faith Formation Office, 814-824-1222, akerr@eriercd.org.
