Today marks the first day of our annual youth spiritual retreat. The retreat will be held at church during the next three consecutive days.

The guideline verse of the retreat is 1 Timothy 4:12 which says “Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”

There will be different discussed topics like: speech, conduct, love, faith and purity.

Stay tuned, we will shortly post pictures for your viewing pleasure!

God bless you,
Catedral Santa María y San Marcos, Santa Cruz – Bolivia
