The Antioch Retreat is an exciting, fun, prayerful, inspirational, and spiritual retreat for mainly sophomores, but juniors and seniors are also welcomed to participate.   The team consists of 9 teens from St. Vincent’s and 9 teens from St. Patrick’s in Chatham with the guidance of adult leaders.  The weekend begins on Friday evening, and closes at a 3:00 pm liturgy on Sunday afternoon.  The Antioch Retreat includes witness talks, small group discussions, prayer, singing, and community building.  At this retreat you will learn more about yourself, your relationships with family and friends, and renew your sense of faith with Jesus Christ.  Each candidate is required to participate in one of the three retreats and a minimum of three follow up sessions.  Throughout the year three retreats are held, one in the fall, one in the early winter, and one in late winter. 
 
 Follow-Up Sessions:  Both the Alpha Retreats and Antioch Retreats have follow up sessions for the team and candidates.  The witness talks presented during the follow-up gatherings flow from the sequence of the liturgical year, which means they are lectionary based.  During these sessions there is always a witness talk, small group discussion, large group feedback and discussion, singing and prayer.
