SENT Teams are trained and equipped to lead every part of your retreat experience. Each student missionary goes through formation and team training before being assigned to serve. Many of our students have attended ������ of Steubenville Youth Conferences and led retreats in their home parishes.

Your SENT Team will work alongside your ministry leaders to:

• Give talks and share personal testimonies
• Lead small groups and faith discussions
• Run games and icebreakers
• Perform skits and dramas
• Engage in relational ministry with your teens

Teams can plan the entire retreat or adapt to your existing schedule. While we specialize in Confirmation retreats, we also serve at youth rallies, school retreats, and more. Whatever your vision, our goal is to help your teens encounter Jesus Christ personally.

SENT Ministries partners with parishes, schools, and dioceses to design retreats that fit your community’s unique needs.

We have a standard retreat format with 3-5 talks and relational ministry events. We can do middle school and high school ages and commonly add a talk or two to aid in Confirmation preparation.  We can adjust to meet your group’s needs and the timing of the retreat.

To schedule a retreat please complete and one of our student interns will connect with you to discuss your group’s needs, share more about the ministry, and schedule your retreat date.

Costs vary depending on the length of the retreat and travel requirements. Because every parish is different, details are discussed directly with the SENT team.

• Travel time: If your retreat begins early and your parish is more than two hours from ������, we recommend that the team arrive the night before. This gives them time to settle in, prepare, and pray for your teens.
  �ճ�����’s additional cost if the team arrives early, but you must provide lodging.
• Food: Provide meals during the retreat
• Lodging: For multi-day retreats, lodging must be provided. Teams can bring sleeping bags and air mattresses, but will need two separate sleeping spaces—one for men and one for women.
  For everyone’s safety and comfort, team members cannot sleep in the same room as the teens they’re serving.

In order to be eligible, your parish/diocese/school must:

1. Be within our 5-hour driving limit.
2. Provide accommodations listed in the above question (housing, meals, etc).
3. Provide an accessible parish contact for retreat preparation and presence on the day of the retreat.
