When: December 13-15, Friday afternoon to Sunday noon-time
Where: Franciscan Guest House, Kennebunk, Maine

Description: One of the major themes of Advent is the virtue of hope.  Not a superficial kind well-wishing, nor a worldly hope for prosperity or success, but a hope rooted in the promises of Christ.  What is Christian hope?  How do we cultivate this virtue in our spiritual lives and share it with others?  Fr. Seamus and area priests will be hosting this time of prayer, community, and discussion for high school aged young men who are serious about their faith and discerning the voice of Christ in their lives.

Schedule: Arrival and check-in are at 5:00 PM on Friday, December 13th. Departure is at 12:45 PM on Sunday, December 15th.

What to bring: Participants should bring toiletries, comfortable indoor clothing, warm outdoor clothing for walks or recreation, a Bible, rosary, journal or other writing paper, snacks to share and any board games or sports equipment you would like to use during free time.

Led by Fr. Seamus Griesbach and local area priests.
