On October 1st, the junior class participated in a retreat located at St. Alphonsus Church. The retreat was lead by a group of young adults in an organization called N.E.T. (National Evangelization Team). The team reaches out to young teens and individuals about the importance of being Catholic and becoming strong in faith. The team exercised ways in which everyone could participate and have a better understanding for Christ. The team revealed experiences and stories in which everyone could relate, in attempts to strengthen their own relationships with God.
Activities the juniors participated in were some team building games such as freeze tag, phantom wink, and skits. Freeze tag was to represent what life would be like with limited to no rules, showing the emotions and feelings that the chaos would bring. Phantom wink was to lighten the mood, where students would shake hands and whoever was the “phantom” and winked at the individual, the individual would then be out. The skits had important lessons to go with the topics of discussion, but were also used for entertainment. The juniors were also separated into groups called small groups, so students could open up to each about their faith and a variety of other topics.The team continued their mission the following day with the Junior High students to also further their relationships with Jesus.
