St. Philip Church in Falls Church welcomed 65 confirmation students for an exciting and faith-filled retreat Nov. 7.
The retreat offered the confirmandi a unique opportunity to encounter Christ, deepen their faith and strengthen their relationship with one another and the church.
Missionaries from NET Ministries led students through small group discussions, skits and interactive games, while young adult missionaries also gave talks and shared their personal testimonies.
Live Vertical, an evangelization ministry that serves young people and campus ministry leaders, led guided prayer during Eucharistic adoration, inviting students to slow down, reflect, and spend time in the presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
The retreat of fellowship, evangelization, joyful activities and spiritual reflection reminded students that the sacrament of confirmation is the beginning of a deeper commitment to living as disciples of Christ.
