Not a request for prayer but mainly for info but prayers will also help, of course! Hi American brothers and sisters in Christ and Mary, A teenager could not participate in a retreat of the graduating class in a Catholic high school. This young person was so disappointed. Could you please post info about solid Catholic retreats for young people in the US? Those that are spiritual, motivating, inspiring and fun at the same time, preferably with Eucharistic adoration and confession? It would be such a blessing if this person and others could attend a summer retreat before entering university this fall. Some years ago, I attended a Women of Grace retreat (headed by Johnette Williams) in the US. It was wonderful but for older women, not particularly for young people. Thanks for your ongoing help and support! God’s blessings and graces to all! Edited to add: I labelled this "urgent" because many young people who suffer from emotional, mental, and psychological issues and at risk of committing suicide need spiritual help, not just therapy from counsellors, psychologists and psychiatrists. These young people are given medication that only numbs them and ironically, some drugs even aggravate or trigger suicidal thoughts.
