ROC the Diocese! Youth Retreat: April 15-17, 2016
ROC the Diocese Youth Retreat
Theme: Seeing the Face of God in Each Other
Friday, April 15 - Sunday, April 17, 2016
LeTourneau Christian Center
Rushville, NY
"You should come to retreat because of the four essential Fs: faith, friends, fellowship, and food."- Josh
"You can create lasting friendships with people who you may not have the opportunity to meet in another way."-Topanga
All teens grades 7-12 are invited to join youth from around the diocese at our annual ROC the Diocese Youth Retreat. This year, our theme joins us in the year-long diocesan pilgrimage of Seeing the Face of God in Each Other. We will worship, play and explore our faith in a safe, youth-led and youth-oriented environment. Please contact Keisha Stokes with any questions.
We will be exploring the stories of the post-Resurrection Jesus, where Jesus surprises his friends again and again by simply showing up, to eat with them, walk with them and show them his wounded yet whole body.

Want to help? Consider donating towards scholarships!
The Diocese of Rochester tries to ensure that no youth is turned away from these important, faith-building events. Our Eventbrite page accepts donations for ROC the Diocese scholarships!
To donate, simply click here and then click "Get Tickets." In the window that pops up, add your donation amount next to "Scholarship Donation." $100 will pay for one full scholarship - but no donation is too small to help.
If you are buying tickets for ROC the Diocese, you can also make a donation. A donation is not required to buy tickets, and you don't have to buy tickets to make a donation. Just select "0" tickets if you only wish to make a donation.
Any funds not applied towards scholarships will be used for future youth events.
