Wildfire

Join us for Wildfire, a transformative weekend retreat designed for secondary students seeking to deepen their relationship with Jesus. At Castle Saunderson Scouting Centre, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to step away from the distractions of daily life and immerse yourself in nature, prayer, and vibrant community.

In the heart of the wilderness, surrounded by other young Catholics, you’ll experience:
‍
‍Adventure and Fellowship
‍Challenge yourself and your friends with outdoor team-building exercises and immersive wilderness adventures. These exciting experiences will not only be a ton of fun, but also help you grow in trust and unity with your fellow retreatants.
You'll have a chance to gather around the campfire to share stories, sing together, and celebrate the joy of community.

‍Prayer and Spiritual Formation
‍Throughout the weekend, retreatants will hear dynamic talks and personal testimonies from NET missionaries who are passionately living out their faith. These moments of sharing will encourage you to go deeper in your journey with Jesus and equip you with practical ways to live your faith in the world.

Additionally, you’ll have space to deepen your relationship with Jesus in times of prayer and reflection. You will have small group discussions where students can reflect on their experiences, share thoughts on their faith journeys, and pray for each other. The weekend will also include the powerful Sacrament of Reconciliation, Eucharistic Adoration, and Mass, offering a chance to encounter Jesus in a profoundly personal way.

‍A Weekend to Remember
‍Whether you’re seeking to renew your relationship with God, make new friends, or simply take a break from the busyness of life, Wildfire promises to be a weekend you’ll never forget. It’s a chance to set your faith ablaze and come away with a renewed sense of purpose, ready to live out your calling as a disciple of Christ.
