This weekend we went to our 7th in nine total retreats that make up the youth ministers' training for the diocese of Lisbon. Even though we currently don't have a youth group... sniff sniff. Although it was very tiring, the schedules are ridiculous and they don't let you rest, it was an overall good experience. We went as a way to connect with the general diocese and we definitely feel more connected.
It's amazing how much I used to judge normal parishioners here in Portugal, and how meeting these 30 young people (from ages 20-40) has changed my perspective. They are playful, silly and loud, but also deep, genuine and really spiritual. I really enjoy being with them.
