A Message From St. Justina's Young Adults
Hi everyone!
CORE is right around the corner, and we’re so excited to spend this weekend together. A lot of prayer and preparation has gone into this retreat, and our hope is that it gives each of us an opportunity to step away from our normal routines, grow closer to Christ, and strengthen
our relationships with one another.
Come ready to pray, learn, ask questions, meet new people, and enjoy the weekend together.
We can’t wait to see you!
