Young Adult Seaside Retreat

Passion and Purpose is working in partnership with PLSE in the development of this particular event.   Passion and Purpose is hosting this retreat for Young Adults of the Diocese of New Jersey.

What does it mean to find and follow a personal calling? How do we distinguish between an authentic calling and the competing, counterfeit voices in our culture? How can we balance the inward listening to our hearts and listening with our hearts to the needs of our world? This retreat offers young adults (ages 18 to 35) time and space to reflect on these vocational questions in an environment of prayer, quiet, and beauty, and in fellowship with other young adults.

Leader: The Reverends Gregory Bezilla and Joanne Epply-Schmidt
