JUNIOR RETREAT

The theme of the Junior Retreat was "Living Water".   "If anyone thirsts, let her come to Me."  We had the privilege of retreating at the United Water Company in Hawthorne with our good friend and Retreat Director, Eddie of Eagle's WIngs.  As we toured the water treatment facility and learned of the purification process, we reflected on our own muddy waters that needed to be cleansed by our Lord and each other's kindness. 


We laughed, we prayed and we ate together.  The day flew by as we experienced the Power of Unity which broke through our comfort zones that so often separates us.  

 
 It was such a grace-filled day as our students listened, learned, and left full of God's love in their hearts for their sisters. At Benedictine Academy, we are one sacred community and Jesus is the apex of our daily lives.
