Teens Encounter Christ
9:30am
Cost: $75
Teens Encounter Christ (TEC) is a three-day retreat for juniors and seniors in high school, as well as college freshmen. This intergenerational movement helps youth transition into young adulthood. TEC draws participants into the heart of the Catholic faith: Christ’s Paschal Mystery (His passion, death, and resurrection) lived out in the Church. The weekend helps youth relate this mystery to the concrete realities of their lives and challenges them to make a deeper commitment to Christ.
The retreat schedule consists of fellowship and free time, talks given by team members, small group discussion, personal prayer, opportunities to receive the sacraments, and other group activities. TEC gives young people a safe place to ask questions, reflect on the person of Christ and who He is in their lives, and experience meaningful relationships with others. Through TEC, young people enter into a wider community that supports and sustains them, creating bonds that often last a lifetime.
The retreat begins 9:30 a.m. on July 18 and ends July 20 at 6 p.m.

To Love and Be Loved
7:30pm
The Great Commandment, to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind" and "love your neighbor as yourself” is the foundation of our faith.
We have been created to love and be loved. This is reflected in St. Benedict’s Rule which recommends the principles of stability, conversion of life, obedience, and hospitality.
Benedict can inspire our love, whether we are monks or in a marriage or any other walk of life. His spirituality helps us to discover our "inner monk."
This program – which begins Friday, July 25, at 7:30 p.m. and ends after lunch on Sunday, July 27 – will be led by Father Mauritius Wilde, OSB, and Jodi Blazek Gehr.
Father Wilde teaches at Sant' Anselmo, a Benedictine study house in Rome and is an author, retreat director and radio guest.
Jodi Blazek Gehr is a wife, mother, Benedictine oblate and a certified SoulCollage and Boundless Compassion facilitator.
Program fee: $80
Rooms (per person, per night): single $52, double $43
Meals: breakfast $9, lunch $13.30, supper $12.30

The Psalms: Our Daily Nourishment
6:00pm
The Psalms: Our Daily Nourishment, August 21 - 24, retreat at Saint Benedict Center, Schuyler, with Brother Tobias Dammert, OSB.
We may prefer sweet baked goods on a daily basis. However, rye bread, sourdough and other choices are the more stable nourishment. We need to chew and digest! The same is true when we pray the Psalms. We do not pick and choose. In this retreat we will look at a selection of Psalms and together find out the message that applies to our daily life. The journey may include the question, “How long Lord?” (Ps. 13) and eventually leads to “Praise the Lord in the sanctuary” (Ps. 150).
Brother Tobias, a professed monk of 50 years, serves as development director of the Benedictine Mission House and liturgist of Christ the King Priory. He holds a certificate in spiritual direction from Benedictine Peace Center in Yankton, South Dakota.
Thursday, 6:00 p.m., to Sunday after lunch. Register now at www.StBenedictCenter.com or call (402) 352-8819.
Program fee: $80
Rooms per person, per night: single $52, double $43 (plus tax)
Meals: breakfast $9, lunch $13.30, supper $12.30 (plus tax)
Early reservations appreciated.
