Through working with young people over the last 10 years in a variety of ways, from summer camp to teaching and speaking on mission, I've come to realize that young people today are ready for answers to the deepest questions; about their beginnings, their destiny, of God and good and evil, suffering and sin. The retreats I offer allow young people the opportunity to delve into the ultimate questions that shape our hearts: Who am I? Who is God? Where did I come from and where am I going?

I see the task of leading a retreat as pointing to the Lamb of God, as St. John the Baptist did, to allow others to taste the silence that leads to prayer; to "come and see"; to experience the wonder of existence and our own role as disciples of Jesus. I encourage others to read the books of creation, our own lives, and ultimately the Scriptures through the practice of lectio divina and faith-sharing.
