YGC (Young, Graduated Catholics) Retreat

Graduates and Young Adults face big questions like "What does God want me to do with my life?" and "What gifts do I have to offer?"  Discerning one's next steps is always a challenge, but with the YGC retreat, participants have time to learn discernment tools and spend the time necessary to reflect with others facing the same questions.  This is a day retreat held at a place in Columbia.
