Youth Programs

Confirmation Retreats

Each year, the Oblate preaching team at Immaculata along with a group of young adults presents one-day retreats here at our center for parish Confirmation groups. The retreat day includes lunch, talks, activities and discussion, concluding with the celebration of the Eucharist. Cost is $35 per person. Confirmation groups require a minimum of one adult chaperone for every 7 youth; adults should have completed the safe-environment certification of their respective diocese. If your parish is interested in having a Confirmation retreat for your students here at Immaculata, please contact Fr. Salvador Gonzalez OMI at 860-423-8484 for more information or to schedule your program.

Youth ACTS Retreats

Each year, Immaculata hosts an ACTS retreat weekend for high school students, and another for college-age young adults. An ACTS Retreat is a three-day, three night Catholic retreat presented by lay men and women, with spiritual direction provided during the weekend by Oblates and/or Spiritual Directors. Talks and activities focus on Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service (ACTS). Holy Scripture and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church are the guides for the retreats. For more information on the cost and dates of these weekends, please visit the ACTS Connecticut website. (The hyperlink connects to: http://actsct.org/default.aspx).
