Colorado Retreats

Colorado 2008
June 29 - July 6

 

Ask anyone who has attended a Colorado retreat in the past, and they will tell you what a huge impact it had on their lives. Nestled in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Snow Mountain Ranch, Y.M.C.A. of the Rockies, boasts some of the most spectacular scenery you will ever see! Hundreds of miles of hiking trails, waterfalls, and more activities than you will have time for, this trip has the potential to be life changing for you. The evening sessions will feature Christian rock band Six Days From Sunday, Catholic motivational speaker Mike Patin, and the world famous Skit Guys.

Note: We were unable to secure the number of rooms we wanted, so this trip is limited. Don't be left out! Pick up your registration form at the Parish Office, the Colorado bulletin board in FelIowship Hall, or download one today!

Special Guests

The Skit Guys

"Defending the Universe from bad drama one skit at a time” is their theme, and Eddie and Tommy deliver every time. Friends since high school, The Skit Guys are now busy traveling all around the world sharing their faith with high energy, passion, and a love for God that is contagious. The Skit Guys have just signed an advertising contract with Southwest Airlines, So we are very fortunate to have them put us on their calendar.

Six Days From Sunday

A week at Snow Mountain Ranch wouldn't be complete without these guys! Not only are they great musicians, but Christian men who encourage and inspire us on our walk with Jesus Christ. Now touring in Germany. 6dfs just keeps getting better and better.  Their style of music is exciting and powerful and we are thrilled to have them back with us again. Who said Christian music can't rock?!

Mike Patin

Mike Patin was with us at our last retreat and he is definitely back by popular demand. His passion and love for Christ is extraordinary. Mike challenges every single person to find out what it means to be a faith filled Catholic and to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He is a powerful and dynamic speaker, and his listeners are always in for a treat.
