Get ready for the 6th Annual Tampa Bay Young Adult Retreat!
In our Wonder we let God captivate and compel us to seek greater things than we would on our own merit. When live our faith with Wonder, it comes alive. When we receive the Eucharist with Wonder, we come as God’s children. When we walk this world with Wonder, literally everything changes. Join us on February 10th as we seek a deeper sense of Wonder in the infinite and everlasting God.
The retreat will be hosted at St. Raphael Catholic Church in St. Pete. It will include morning hospitality, lunch and dinner. We will have captivating speakers, worship, Sacramental opportunities and plenty of time for fellowship. Join young adults from around Florida for a day of faith.
Cost of Registration - $50
Registration will close Thursday, February 8th, at noon or if we hit capacity before then.
Due to overwhelming response and our venue’s capacity, we will not be able to accommodate walk up registrations this year.
