Service & Justice

Young Christians at Work

Five-day program in which youth serve in the community, learn about social justice and participate in the liturgies of Holy Week with a deepened view of what it means to be the hands and feet of Christ. Held March 26-30, 2013 at Harvest House in Buffalo. View our brochure or register online by March 13, 2013.

"A very powerful program… As the week went on, I felt my relationship with God grow stronger. I never would have thought this retreat would have ever had such a powerful impact on me or that it would draw me back year after year."                                                        - 2011 & 2012 Participant
