Young Adults Retreat

St. Alban´s Episcopal Church is organizing a Young Adults Retreat on June 23-25, 2023, and they are inviting other young adults in our diocese to join them.

The spiritual retreat for those in their 20s/30s group will provide a sacred time for fellowship, spiritual growth, and reflection. The retreat will be led by poet, scholar, lay leader, and educator Kathleen H. Staudt, and she will use as a resource her book Shaping a Faithful Life: Discernment and Discipleship for Young Adults. Please consider buying your own copy, as you may use it during the event.

Retreat Details:
Dates: June 23rd – 25th. The retreat begins with dinner Friday night, there will be various sessions and activities throughout Saturday and then concludes Sunday after lunch.
Topic of the retreat: Discernment and discipleship.

Location: Claggett Retreat Center in Adamstown, MD (about an hour’s drive from DC).
