Catholic Midshipmen Retreat

Batman even made time to come to the retreat!

There were so many great things that happened on the Catholic Midshipmen Club retreat this semester.  These midshipmen are challenged everyday and in so many ways.  They are required to workout, go to all of their classes and meetings, and do their homework.  They have to go to formation and are tested in so many ways, and if they have any free time they usually use it to relax or sleep.  This weekend, about forty midshipmen gave up an entire weekend to go on a retreat, learn more about their faith, and pray!  To most people that would seem like a waste of time, especially prayer, but they chose to put their faith first.

There was great adoration where midshipmen were able to sit with Christ.  We even had prayer teams where people could come and be prayed over.  During adoration there was also confession, and it was great to see so many midshipmen go to confession and ask God for the forgiveness of their sins. 

Father Bruno, a Dominican priest, gave most of the talks, and also spoke about living life for eternity.  He also spoke about judgment and Heaven and how we are never alone.  My favorite talk was when he talked about the mass, and how we are taken into heaven during every mass. 



P.S.  Happy All Saints Day!!!!
