Bethany Retreat

What is it?

The name "Bethany" refers to the content of the retreat rather than a location in Virginia.  This is a retreat offered for ALL four Diocesan High Schools (JP, BI, O'Connell, and PVI)  where we spend a long-weekend together learning how to grow closer to Christ through the experience of Christ by Martha, Mary, and Lazarus who lived in the town of Bethany. 

When is it?

After school on Friday, March 28 to Sunday, March 30. 

Where will it be?

Summit Lake, 7610 Hampton Valley Road, Emmitsburg, MD  21727

(Bus transportation from JP will be provided)

Who and how many may attend? 

Any students may sign up (form on the left)! We can bring up to 30 students.  If more sign up, we will have a lottery and preference will be given to those who have not been before and seniority. 

How much does it cost? 

Final cost is $250.00.  If cost is the only thing preventing your child from attending, please contact me directly: fr.tipton@jpthegreat.org.
