Challenge is a Catholic retreat movement for youth, coordinated by youth. Challenge begins with a three day retreat weekend, during which young people have a chance to meet Christ on a personal level with the help of their peers. The emphasis in the Challenge Weekend is a youth-to-youth approach, a live-in weekend environment, a group discussion format, and a team approach. The Weekend’s goal is to “Challenge” participants to learn more about their relationship with God and more about themselves. This exploration is guided through a series of talks given by other youth on various themes that relate our faith to everyday life. There is also lots of time for group discussion, music, prayer, games, personal reflection, socializing, and much more.The Weekend is progressive in nature, each part building on the theme of the last. As you travel through the Weekend, you’ll learn about these themes through the voices of other young adults. You’ll hear about your peers’ experiences growing up, their struggles with faith, the reasons they believe in God and the active role He has played in their lives. You’ll hear how your peers cope with the struggle of living a Christian life in our secular society.The experience of the Challenge Weekend is difficult to summarize because it is much more than just the sum of its parts. But if nothing else, the Weekend is a great place to meet other young adults who share the same faith, and is an opportunity to take time off your busy schedules to address spiritual concerns.
