Acolyte Retreat took place at the Bishop Hodur Retreat and Recreation Center in Waymart, PA. Almost forty participants came from several parishes of our diocese including five altar servers from our parish: Nayef, Ned, Neil Kiame, Michael and Natalie Cyman.
All participants had time to pray during Mass, before meals and before going to sleep. They enjoyed playing different games indoors and outside. They did swim in the pool with the presence of the life guard. Yes, the water was warm which helped adults to join as well. The pool was used every day. Participants hiked to the shore of Keen Lake (see the picture below). They listened to interesting presentations at the retreat center. The weather was excellent except for one chilly night. The bonfire on Thursday made all of us become one friendly family.
