Bread of Life - Parish Vitality and Mission

Welcome! We are so excited that you’d like to join us for the Bread of Life Retreat 2023!

This retreat is designed to offer rising high school Juniors and Seniors from the Archdiocese of Chicago an encounter with the living Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. This encounter will empower our teens to go on mission with Jesus to share the good news of Jesus’ love and mercy with the world!

The retreat will be a time of dynamic evangelization and catechesis, mass, eucharistic adoration, community building and authentic sharing of Gospel joy though our relationship with Jesus Christ, who is truly alive and with us in the Eucharist, and with one another.
