Sapientia Saturdays

for Catholic teens aged 16-19

Do you want a boost for your faith life? Are you looking to find good Catholic friends and have fun? Do you need to find a way to pray, but don't have time for a weekend retreat?

Sapientia Saturdays are for you!

As a way to help the young Catholics keep the fire of God alive all year long, the Community of St. John in Princeville, Illinois is pleased to host Sapientia Saturdays. With all of the intense prayer, exciting classes, and great friends of a longer retreat in a daylong format, Sapientia Saturdays are the perfect way for a busy young person to relax, make new friends, and deepen their Christian life.

"Sapientia" is the Latin word meaning "wisdom." Wisdom is the highest knowledge we can have about God about the world and about our lives. With so much to gain in so little to lose, what are you waiting for?! Come, soar with us!
