Suscipe is the Latin word for 'receive'. The term was popularized by St. Ignatius of Loyola and his Spiritual Exercises and is the name of one of his famous prayers, the Suscipe.

Take Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Thou hast given all to me. To Thee, O lord, I return it. All is Thine, dispose of it wholly according to Thy will. Give me Thy love and thy grace, for this is sufficient for me. - St. Ignatius of Loyola

This three-day weekend retreat for high school seniors is an opportunity to step out of the hectic nature of their last semester and into a relaxing and prayerful experience, where they can say, "Take Lord, and receive..." and prepare to live their faith beyond their high school years.

Registration for the retreat is $160. This covers the cost of lodging, retreat materials, meals, and snacks. If cost is a concern, financial assistance is available. Please reach out to Jessica Pancho, Director of Youth Ministry, at jpancho@dmdiocese.org.

Participants will need to bring a printed and completed waiver form with them to check-in on Friday evening at 6 PM.

Please register by March 7th, 2025.
