Retreat
In the fall the Diocesan Brotherhood Assembly gather high risk youth at the Diocesan Camp Allen for a weekend of fun, food and challenge conducted in prayer, study and witness.
This is a weekend where members of the Diocesan Brotherhood Chapters come together in a common effort to promote the understanding of importance of having Jesus Christ at the center on one's life to promote healing of the entire body and one life. The youth enjoy food and fun, teaching and worship.
