It is no surprise that studies and experience show the first years of priesthood are an extremely important formative time for new priests to be properly supported and affirmed in priestly identity and ministry. Archbishop Hebda asks you to come together as a class four times during the academic year over your first three years of priesthood.

The Damascus Retreat offers an opportunity to encounter Jesus Christ more deeply, grow in faith, and experience spiritual renewal through prayer, worship, reflection, community, the celebration of Mass, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession).

Explore the ancient teaching of the Church on how the gifts (or charisms) of the Holy Spirit work in your life and in the life of your parish.

Lifeline allows high schoolers to encounter Jesus Christ and experience true community within the Church. Each evening includes Mass, a dynamic speaker, praise and worship and adoration.
